Verdict
Low-grade fare here but THE HOLMEISTER has twice finished close behind the in-form Game Catch recently and, though dropping back in trip, his rider should ensure a stamina test. Inforapenny was making his handicap debut at Navan a couple of weeks ago and probably would have finished much closer if getting the run of the race. The longer trip should suit and he looks a threat. Ask The Leader went up 5lb for scoring over the trip at Downpatrick, when Mezyan was well beaten, and only faded close home on a return visit.
