In depth

Verdict

The won’t take much winning and Gordon Elliott has a couple of entries. Walkabout goes well fresh so looks a better bet than top weight Take A Turn. De Mazzaro could be throw in here on a mark of 45 given he won over hurdles at Galway in the autumn. Walking On Glass would have an excellent chance on the pick of his form but we’ll take a chance that a break has refreshed INGLEBY MACKENZIE. Wayne Lordan’s mount has the cheekpieces back on today and can’t get much lower in the weights. Drummer placed twice at Dundalk at the start of the year but is now 0-10 in career starts.
