Verdict
Jiving Jerry went up 7lb for his victory at Killarney which just gets him into the 0-95 handicap. The in-form Simon Torrens again rides and he's likely to take some beating. Wee Small Hours was a 100/1 chance when fourth at Kilbeggan and has been dropped 14lb in the ratings while An Marcach has never won and has been beaten off this mark the last twice. Crack On Corrie is 1-30 over timber but wasn't far off doubling her tally at Listowel though the vote goes to the lightly-raced maiden BADNESS BACKFIRES (NAP). He gave notice of better to come with two decent efforts at Ballinrobe and though no match for Scalino at Punchestown had a subsequent winner back in third.
