Verdict

DORANS RIVER (NAP) has proved himself over the trip and has found some form at Wexford in recent weeks so could be good enough to gain his sixth career victory. Silverstrand was only headed close home at Ballinrobe after leading into the straight and, though still a maiden after 20 starts, won't get many better chances in a moderate handicap. Hard Target has never been further than 2m4f while Tingarran Express has never raced over the trip though the latter should be suited. Whip Whitaker is running quite well but has been beaten three times off this mark recently.
