Verdict
BIRKENHEAD came here for a novices' event last month and just managed to get up. He's since been narrowly beaten twice at Ripon at that level which looks a cut above this. He has to concede 19lb to Frida Kahlo, who led for a long way in a Redcar seller, but shoud do so and What A Business looks more of a threat. Jamie Osborne's colt was only beaten narrowly on his debut at Chelmsford before weakening in the closing stages when tackling 6f at Newmarket. Allhallowtide is a very rare Irish-based runner here and though she hasn't shown much at Dundalk and Navan she wouldn't be here without good reason.
