Verdict

SWEET WILL had a recent run on the Flat at Doncaster but has won races at Cork and Kilbeggan earlier this year and is clearly in good heart. Kingfisher Lane won at Downpatrick last month and today’s rider takes off the 7lbs accrued for those labours. Deo Bellator obliged at chunky odds at Kilbeggan and Michael Millar’s mare will appreciate any rain that falls while Battle Of Benburb has tended to run his better races at this time of the year so any money for John McConnell’s five-year-old should not be dismissed lightly. The Grey Lad is back without the headgear that accompanied his latest start at Fairyhouse.
