Verdict

Beechmount Whisper has run in eight handicaps and been placed in them all without winning. He again ran well on heavy ground at Cork last month when runner-up to Tribal Path and has to be on the short-list. Maronella and Not A Bad Oul Day were behind and look held while Snap Click's two victories have come on fast ground. Talented Kid has run poorly since scoring at Navan in October but Caigemdar is one to note on her first start for Mark McNiff as she won on soft ground in the UK. Starlostinacloud ran her best race to date at Dundalk in February and probably has more to offer but a chance is taken on the fitness of BEST NOT ARGUE. John Murphy's filly has only had five runs and landed a handicap on ground with some give at Galway in September. She's surprisingly well in on that form and is one of the few here with genuine scope.
