In depth

Verdict

Catskill hadn't shown much for a very long time before gaining a surprise victory at Ballinrobe on Tuesday and a 4lbs penalty may not be enough to prevent another big run. Paddy Curry has struggled in handicaps since landing a maiden on fast ground at Gowran in October but will get a good ride from Bryan Cooper and is respected. FIERY OSCAR was going on nicely at the finish over today's trip at Downpatrick last month, his first start since March, and looks well enough weighted to take this for Rodger Sweeney. Sainte Kadette hasn't fulfilled early potential but is still capable of making her presence felt and ran well at Killarney last time, only her second start in a year.
