In depth
Verdict
The Rossmeister had a head to spare over OPERA MUSIC at Tramore a fortnight ago but the runner-up got no sort of run from the last and can gain revenge and take this as he hasn't had too much experience. Tough Mark is getting his act together but appeared to enjoy stepping up to 2m2f at Downpatrick and this could prove too sharp. Celtic Cailin makes her handicap debut after giving supporters of The Amarillo Kid a fright at Downpatrick while the veteran Moving On, though in good form, prefers further. Littletown Lass may do bets of the remainder.
