Verdict

Shaky Operator's close fourth at Ballinrobe puts him in the frame but he can hardly be trusted having pulled up when losing his action twice in his last four starts. Brown Eagle made all in a maiden claimer over 7f at Roscommon then led until weakening quickly over this track and trip. CARLTON GARDENS, a 150,000gns son of Sea The Stars, wouldn't have been expected to be racing at this level on just his third start but led for a long way in a 1m5f Navan maiden last time and can take this. Grizabella has shown a bit of potential though over shorter.
