Verdict

Bribe The Bouncer makes his handicap debut after a hard-fought victory at Listowel and has plenty to do as has Windward Passage, who is up 7lb for his shock victory in a Tipperary rated race. HANNAH'S MAGIC has the form to gain her first success and, as she has been running well on ground with plenty of give, connections will be hoping conditions remain on the soft side. She gets the vote over Hellenistic, who had been racing exclusively at Dundalk before her powerful finish gained the day over 1m3f at Limerick. Mr Snagsby has been gradually improving though it was fast going when he produced his best effort to date here last week. Bleeding Hearts didn't stay 1m4f last time and is better judged on his much better earlier runs.
