Verdict

YOUNG FITZY is on a career-low mark and turned in his best effort of the season when third at Limerick last time, so he's worth a chance to build on that. The in-form Poppy Rose deserves respect and market support would look significant for handicap debutant Container Madness.

  1. YOUNG FITZY (IRE)

  3. CONTAINER MADNESS (IRE)
