Verdict
Barnhill Rose looks in good order but has been done no favours by a high draw. Airgead, on a decent mark nowadays, hasn’t fared much better and Breakfast Club may also struggle to get competitive from stall 17. Dutch Schaefer came out best in a tight finish at Roscommon just over six weeks ago but today’s conditions look too fast for Denis Hogan’s charge. Eastern Racer could go well off top weight but PRAYING MANTIS has ended up with Ado McGuiness after being bought out of a Thirsk seller. She won here and at Listowel last year when trained with Andrew Kinirons and clearly still retains some ability.
