Verdict
A low-grade handicap in which LONDONOFFICECALLIN (NAP) can finally lose his maiden tag after overcoming a bad mistake to finish a close second at Clonmel. L'or Des Roses was beaten a very long way when runner-up at Downpatrick though that was only her fourth start over timber but The Holmeister has been looking high enough in the weights after completing a double in July. Toor Hawk has been placed once in 16 starts over timber but Veneziano Springs' placed effort at Galway last month would put him in the picture.
