Verdict

Three against the field here are Iron Express, Atomic Breeze and Misty Ramble, with the latter preferred in an otherwise wide-open contest. Ferdy Murphy's charge has been a consistent sort and has a decent weight plus the assistance of Davy Russell in the saddle. He kames that bit more appeal than Atomic Breeze and Intersky native who, to be fair, put up a bold show last time. A bigger danger though will be the topweight Iron Express who finally came good at the last meeting after some disappointing efforts. George Moore's charge could well go off as favourite but we feel that he is worth opposing and do so with Misty Ramble.
