Verdict

Mr Moondance showed improvement when fourth at Listowel but a wide draw might be a problem here. Nedera wasn't beaten far at Wexford last month and is making her handicap debut while Rathealy could easily bounce back wearing headgear and with Gary Halpin claiming 7lb. Almosthaditall might have gone close at Sligo earlier this week had he not blown the start but this can go to Johnny Murtagh's FIX IT, who had Focas Mor behind when fourth to Share A Secret at Fairyhouse 11 days ago and has won over this trip on the Polytrack.
