Verdict
WHISKEY AND RYE is thriving and a 7lb rise is unlikely to prevent a hat-trick, especially with conditions in his favour. He had Concrete And Clay and Thepartysover in the minor places at Limerick a fortnight ago but the former can get closer as that was his first start since August. Glen Beg created a 33/1 shock in a Clonmel maiden three weeks ago and makes her handicap debut while Stop The Clock ran really well over a longer trip at Naas and is progressing enough to take a hand.
