In depth

Verdict

Barry Browne was seen at his best on board Cappacon when he scored at Sligo and though his mount is no youngster he hasn't had much racing for his age. TIME IS TIME had been going well before finally getting off the mark at Kilbeggan and this doesn't look much tougher so a 5lb rise shouldn't be enough to prevent a follow-up. Cailean's Angel ran quite well on her handicap debut at Downpatrick and she's one of the few here with scope while Courtin Bb would have a chance on her victory at Tramore in June from just 3lb lower though she's run moderately since.
