Verdict
A very low-grade handicap where nothing arrives in form and the market may provide some clues. JUNIOR BEE (NAP) has had ten starts without winning, the last four over further than this. He's been well supported the last twice and run well enough to gain compensation here. Grinn has had one less run over timber and been placed just once but her best form has been over this trip on good ground so she's on the shortlist. I Don't Get It is 0-38 and already has a dozen runs behind him this year though would have a chance on his second in a huge field at Naas in February. Presenting Lad has shown glimpses of ability and has changed stables.
