Verdict
A maximum field for a low grade handicap. A winner at Leopardstown in June, COMPLETE FICTION has been a beaten favourite the last twice including over course and distance last time. Rory Cleary is back on board, however, so he may recoup losses. French Company has been harshly raised 11lb for winning over 1m4f at Fairyhouse and Lily Of The Glen has gone up 7lb after a much-improved second here last month. Barretstown keeps finding one too good but Out On Friday can race off the same mark as when runner-up at Leopardstown last week and Draco Pulchrac may benefit from Jake Coen’s 5lb claim.
