Verdict
The Bold Beckey was still prominent when falling two out at Cork in August and her rider's claim is a plus. Tikka Light has won over this trip between the flags but remains a maiden under Rules while Perrie Hill disappointed last time having run well earlier at Kilbeggan. Whatsdacraic and Fennis Moll must have a chance from near the foot of the weight but A DECENT EXCUSE should be capable of defying his welter burden in this company as he won off a higher mark over fences at Ffos Las in August.
