Verdict

Sean Aherne brings ISOURBELL out again quickly after her run behind On The Button at Roscommon on Tuesday and can be rewarded. The eight-year-old has looked as though a longer trip would be to her liking on her last three starts and she is on a handy mark. After scoring over a slightly shorter trip here in May, High Talk was strongly fancied for a handicap over the C&D last month but found a 12lbs rise beyond him and he is on the same mark here. Raheenwood landed a moderate handicap at Listowel in June and has by no means been disgraced in better company subsequently. He can provide a threat as can Minella Bliss, whose recent efforts in decent handicaps at Tipperary and Killarney suggest he is ready to win soon.
