Verdict

Have A Nice Day won this last year though arrived in top form having scored previously on the track. If the ground remains quick he could get into the action again. Alkasser won a Listed contest over track and trip though that was back in 2014. He's been dropped 20lb in the handicap subsequently and should be taking advantage soon. Ishebayorgrey has been in fine form and deserved his victory at Limerick, where he had An Saighdiur behind, though he's much better handicapped on the all-weather. Excelli has been going well over a mile at Dundalk and winning bumper Not A Whisper showed that she doesn't lack pace when scoring over this trip at Fairyhouse. CLUB WEXFORD (NAP) has won once in 18 starts but has gone close on several occasions including when runner-up over track and trip last month. He again ran well over a mile at Navan last week and looks well enough treated to double his tally.
