Verdict
This is easily the most competitive race on this evening’s card. She'sasupermack is on a hat-trick after beating subsequent Cartmel winner Jessiemac at Ayr and Get An Oscar at Worcester but has been raised a massive 12lb. Midnight Aurora has gone up 9lb for winning at Uttoxeter but Final Reminder is only 4lb higher than when successful in this 12 months ago and a case can also be made for Shane Crawley’s Navan winner Dragon Houdini, who was a fair fourth last time at Fairyhouse. Talkofgold and Big Penny should be thereabouts but it’s doubtful we saw the best of COILLTE EILE at Worcester after a six-month break and Richard Newland’s recent acquisition warrants another chance.
