Verdict
A very poor turnout as Castletimon has been getting beaten in bumpers and over hurdles and Massini's Trap has gone backwards since a very promising debut at Leopardstown in July. Noble Call had little chance over a mile last time though may need even further than this so the vote goes to TREASURE THE RIDGE. He's shown a bit of improvement this season after a very long absence and was staying on again over a mile at Limerick after being outpaced at the furlong pole.
