In depth

Verdict

Dinnie's Vinnie was well beaten into third behind the well handicapped Poormans Hill here last time but has been running well enough to get competitive in this moderate event. Gibbstown looked to have a chance at Sligo last time but didn't run very well and is best watched until regaining some form. Ard Cregg is now on his lowest ever mark which isn't surprising considering he's 1-34 so a tentative vote goes to the former hunter MULLAGHMURPHY BLUE, who has only had four runs over regulation fences and showed a bit more at Tramore last time. Tb Broke Her ran poorly at Clonmel but would have a good chance on her previous second at Wexford.
