In depth

Verdict

Monkstreet had been racing over the minimum before stepping up to 2m4f at Gowran but didn't appear to last out. The Flier Begly had been running well before finding heavy ground against him when sent to Ayr so wouldn't want more rain. VINNIE IS BUSY won a Limerick bumper in 2020 and was having his first start for almost two years when racing with the choke out at Fairyhouse last month where he kept going when headed. That should have brought him to concert pitch for this. Winding River did better at Thurles last time but I Don't Get It is 0-35.
