Verdict
A poor-quality handicap in which Hidden Land is the only course winner though he has been well beaten over shorter here the last twice. Oranmore went up 10lb for scoring over 1m6f at Bellewstown in the summer but has been placed just once in six starts here. Ciao Adios, twice a winner in the UK, was staying on over 1m4f on Friday and cannot go lower in the ratings while DREAMS FLED AWAY produced a similar effort the previous week. The latter was showing his first start of ability that day and a similar effort would suffice providing he stays the extra.
