Verdict

Solar Heat has managed to win seven races though is on a long losing run and is looking a few pounds high. Pegase Amour ran his best race to date on this track in December though hasn't managed to win yet nor has An Marcach, though the latter made a couple of costly mistakes at Clonmel that may have cost him the race. Odds Or Evens was heavily supported on his reappearance at Gowran but jumped poorly but I'M NOT ALONE, in the same ownership, would have a chance on his victory at Wexford though wouldn't want more rain.
