Verdict

Having belatedly shed the maiden tag at Tramore on his penultimate start, LIKABLE CHANCER backed that when runner-up behind a handicap blot at Downpatrick 3 weeks ago. He gets the nod to continue the good work, with chase debutante Winnie Woodnutt who ran out an impressive winner over hurdles 5 weeks ago next best. Recent point scorer Tech Talk is another to keep an eye on.
