Verdict
Penalised for winning a Market Rasen maiden in June, the exposed Jeepydoff Meel has been well beaten in all three starts since. Wotyoudunnow Buddy showed only moderate form in bumpers while Stylish Recruit needed the help of the stewards in a point at Fairyhouse in April. Derek Fox prefers the Loughrea points winner WHISTLE STOP TOUR to Greenhill Gardens and he gets the vote in a modest opener, though Hawkseye View has also won between the flags.
