Verdict

A poor grade handicap in which a chance is taken on a return to form from SIX SILVER LANE. The eight-year-old has won nine times in his career, including twice in Scotland last summer, and he'll be better for his recent run at Leopardstown where he ran well for a long way. Intifadah has only had six runs and though showing his best form in a Killarney handicap last time he has a big weight for what he's achieved. Jim Bolger tries Mainicin in blinkers and she could go well if they have the desired effect as could Punches Pious, another wearing the blinds for the first time and dropped 2lb despite three reasonable runs this year.
