It might be worth taking a chance with ISLE OF INISHMORE ahead of The Fox's Decree and the consistent Rifleman. Tim Vaughan's new inmate didn't achieve a great deal in seven starts under Rules for his previous connections in Ireland but he took a point at Bonvilston last time and is the type of horse that his yard has enjoyed plenty of success with. The Welsh handler could hardly be in better form with twelve winners from his last twenty runners and Richard Johnson is a positive booking for the yard. The Fox's Decree has been knocking on the door in recent outings with the exception being his penultimate start at Hereford where the softer ground didn't appear to suit. A tongue strap helped last time and may well help him to see out the longer trip this time around. Rifleman ran on well to win here last time but is 6lbs higher in the weights and has never been a frequent winner so the percentage call is to oppose him and take a chance with Isle Of Inishmore.
