Verdict
Notification will soon be a teenager but shows little sign of slowing down and has returned to action in good form having just failed to hold off Tristram Shandy over a trip just too far at Tipperary. Wolfslair makes his handicap debut after three moderate maiden runs but Clay Allison, another having his first handicap start, looked progressive over the minimum trip here in May. BALYNACLASH WARRIOR has been operating from a high enough mark after his maiden victory at Listowel three years ago but has looked on the way back in recent runs and with Rachel Blackmore's claim to help can go one better than when chasing home The Fitz Lady at Cork. Binowagh Bay had been in poor form since her victory at Cartmel last August but is now 4lb lower and ran much better when sent to Kelso last time.
