Verdict

A trappy contest gets proceedings underway but something has to win and the principals look to be Maybe I Wont, Llab Nala and Ballinskeligs Boy and the narrow nomination is given to the last named. The selection was a fair second behind Ramblin Bob last time out. The third in that race has since franked the form and with more improvement likely he will be hard to beat. Maybe I Wont rates the main danger on his latest second behind Archived but the drop in trip is a concern and he is taken on with this in mind. Llab Nala is a well bred type from a top in form yard and he should be watched in the market but the suspicion is he will come on for the experience. Of the remainder Easy Wonder is another that catches the eye on the breeding and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Ballinskelligs Boy who is taken to put his experience to good use.
