In depth
Verdict
Young Fitzy won a course and distance handicap two years ago from 7lb higher and Shane Callaghan's claim suggests he's on a very fair mark. Kilashee, a dual winner over hurdles, has been racing over fences while Healys Island was racing over three miles when placed at Kilbeggan and this is a big drop in trip. MULLINS CROSS is 1-30 but has been running well at a similar level and was unlucky in-running at Gowran on Friday so should be capable of doubling her winning tally from the same mark. The maiden Getaway Master did well when stepped up to 2m6f here last month.
