In depth
Verdict
A low-class handicap, as it was when EIRI NA CASCA (NAP) beat Tomcoole Lad at Tramore despite making several mistakes and being hampered. That was a surprise result but there looked no fluke about it and a double looks on the cards despite a huge 10lb rise. Magical Mother is well held on that form while winning point-to-pointer Trust No One has yet to reach a place in any of his dozen starts over jumps. Georgie hasn't been running badly and is on a low enough mark to make his presence felt but Bills Official is 13lb higher than his only victory to date.
