Verdict
MEDICINE JACK ended the last campaign winning a Listed race at Navan and looked on the way back to form there on Wednesday. He's dropped to a lowly mark and can get back to winning ways. Sendmylovetoyou made a successful debut in a maiden on soft ground here in August and a mark of 78 could be underestimating her ability while Ardhoomey had little chance of levels against Make A Challenge here last time but stuck to his guns and the longer trip will suit. The Broghie Man is on a long losing run and was well behind Cyrus Dallin at Listowel though the latter was also engaged at Limerick today.
