        Verdict

        The locally trained Cruagh Express is on a longish losing sequence but showed signs of a return to form last time and gets a tentative vote against some disappointing rivals under a useful 5lb apprentice. Satu Nusa was brushed aside in a poor maiden last time and has been struggling at this level while Joint Statement and Learned Lad are capable of going close but neither appear to be in the best of form of late.
