Verdict

Pink Ribbon has managed to win six times on the Flat in moderate company but Jimmy Lambe has a better option with The Moore Factor, who is much higher rated on the level and has experience over timber. Youghal By The Sea won a Bellewstown bumper in August before a promising hurdling debut at Galway but was beaten a long way on his reappearance behind Political Policy last week. GO GUARANTOR hadn't shown much on the Flat or over hurdles until a cracking effort in a handicap here last month where he went clear 2 out only to be caught and passed on the run-in. A repeat would see him very difficult to beat.
