Verdict

Irish raider UBERRIMA FIDES posted one of his better efforts when mid-field in a first-time visor at Dundalk last month and he gets the nod in the hope that this step up in trip triggers some improvement. Yakhabar has been in decent form on the all-weather and, unexposed on turf, he looks dangerous, while Marbuzet should also have a part to play, provided he steps up on his low-key reappearance.
