Verdict

WILLYOUWALKWITHME has won twice here and rarely run anywhere else. He only just failed to make all over 2m3f last time and the shorter trip can see him back to winning ways. Uncle Gerhard was well supported at Clonmel and was beaten only a head after a sustained dual with the winner. He's been raised 3lb and his rider has a 3lb less allowance. Winning point-to-pointer Ingenious Stroke attempted to make all over 2m4f at Wexford but had no answer when Moving Water swept past two out while Our Dylan ran poorly at Ballinrobe after a narrow defeat at Clonmel.
