Verdict

This trip takes some getting on such an undulating track but it didn't concern Scenic Star when successful last month and he's since made a bold bid to defy 5lb extra at Wexford. Western Goose was beaten 10l in that race on this track but had earlier scored over fences here and that's probably where she'll be heading. Galveston has his first start for Gordon Elliott after transferring from the UK and might just need the run but TB BROKE HER chased home the gambled-on Mr Smith at Roscommon on Tuesday and the winner runs earlier on the card. Arthur Moore's charge has won just once in 22 starts but looks to have every chance of going one better.
