In depth
Verdict
A low grade handicap in which a chance is taken with MY OLD LADY, who has yet to finish in the first three in any of her seven starts. Denis Hogan's mare has run better in her last two races, the latest at Wetherby, and is on such a lowly mark that she can take advantage. Carrow Queen ran well at Clonmel earlier this month but her best form has been over longer trips while winning bumper County Champions was beaten a long way at Gowran last month. Theoystercatcher looked ready to win soon when a close third at Downpatrick but didn't run up to that form at Limerick. Brian The Warrior runs the occasional decent race but a strike-rate of 0-32 tells its own story.
