Verdict
GORTMILLISH stepped up to this trip to complete a double at Downpatrick and though needing to improve again is likely to do so. Lake Winnipesaukee landed a 2m4f maiden at Roscommon but jumped poorly in a Bellewstown handicap next time while Solitary Man's victory on this track was over 2m1f. Hartur D'arc has won on heavy ground so should be at home in the conditions while the four-year-old Winning Smut ran very in a Listed handicap at Listowel though that was over two miles.
