In depth
Verdict
This is not the strongest event to get proceedings under way and only a handful make appeal, such as Walter Plinge, Capatain O'Neill and Barton Nic, and it is the latter who could take the beating. The 10-year-old gave Paul Keane his first ever winner as a trainer and has performed with credit in better company than this since. He makes more appeal than recent winner Walter Plinge who opened his account in a weak affair, while Captain O'Neill does not have much scope, being fully exposed. Richard Lee had a winner on Thursday so Kaid will be expected to show up well, but Barton Nic is the one to beat.
