Verdict

EARLS needs to prove he handles testing conditions but only faded in the closing stages over 7f on heavy ground at Limerick after scoring over an extended 5f at Sligo. Long-time maiden Glow Worm will have no problems with the ground and has been running well without managing that elusive victory while Is That Love has only had seven starts and has dropped to his lowest mark. None of the remaining trio can be dismissed in a tricky little handicap with handicap debutant Royal Hideaway possibly the best of them under Colin Keane.
