Verdict
CARRAREA has put inferior opposition to the sword the last twice and that should be the case again here, even though Mark Walford’s Irish import is conceding weight all round. Local Drama was second in a point just over a year ago but hasn’t been seen since so is best watched. Killeemore Lad was a 66/1 chance when scoring at Kilbeggan but is clearly improving and hasn't travelled over the Irish Sea for a holiday.
