Verdict

EPSILON INDI had shown virtually nothing before landing a gamble at Limerick on Saturday where he made all for a convincing victory. He has a 6lb penalty to overcome but Conor McNamara's claim takes care of most of that and he can go in again. Viking Hoard also ran at the same fixture and ran his best race to date over timber, just finding an extended 2m6f stretching his stamina. He'll be a threat while Humm Baby is in good form though could have found good to firm going at Cork on Friday too quick for her. Antimatter has been looking high enough in the weights after completing a double last autumn but My Direction will be suited by stepping up in trip after looking one-paced over the minimum.
