Verdict
A low grade handicap in which Salacious Sally will be fancied after she fell when in second place at Sligo though she's a very rare winner. Banned In Bhutan ran a bit better at Ballinrobe and hasn't had much racing while Blaze Of Fire did better on fast ground at Down Royal in May. It's difficult to know what Swantykay has done to deserve top weight so a chance is taken on DRIVE THE BUS. Denis Hogan's charge showed his first sign of ability over a trip too short at Roscommon and wouldn't need much improvement to take this.
