In depth
Verdict
HOOCHIE MAMA came here in March and landed a handicap just short of today's trip in very good style. She's been raised 7lb but that shouldn't be a problem and the slightly longer trip is very much in her favour. Davy Russell has been booked and a double looks on the cards though Galway Legend can provide formidable opposition. The veteran was having no less than his 51st start when finally getting off the mark over this C&D in September and a couple of recent runs will have brought him to peak fitness. Ballito won an Open between the flags at Tattersalls Farm on May Day and followed that with a decent effort in a strong handicap at Kilbeggan last week but Wizards Dust, who had some useful form in the UK, has yet to show anything for new connections though he's very well handicapped.
