Verdict
Go Guarantor is 0-16 but has performed well at Downpatrick on his last two starts and has changed stables. Fiosrach has one victory to his credit over timber and that was almost four years ago but if the ground dries out further then Rioja Day would enter the equation as his lone success came on fast going at Musselburgh. Felix Mendelssohn hasn't been capable of taking advantage of a rapidly falling mark but OUR JERRY, who hasn't run since 2016 when he had some decent form in handicaps, wouldn't have been sent from County Tipperary unless thought capable of taking home the spoils so gets the vote.
