Verdict

Mark McNiff's NUTTORRIDGE arrives on the back of 2 solid in-frame efforts this spring and is taken to resume winning ways under Phillip Enright. Tuff Days has been knocking on the door and rates a likely threat if none the worse for a fall at Limerick last time. How Decc is another to consider, while Gavin Cromwell handicap newcomer Across The Ocean and the Charles Byrnes-trained I Am Spider Man are a couple to keep an eye on in the betting.
