In depth

Verdict

Railway Muice has had 28 starts without winning and though going close on several occasions recently has been beaten from lower marks the last five times. Winning point-to-pointer Different Spot returned to fences at Listowel and ran his best race to date but a chance is taken with ISLAND MASTER. The only course and distance winner in the race, he has had just two runs this summer following a long break and should be ready for this. Cluan Dara was brought down early at Listowel but would have a chance on his close second at Tramore in August. Weihnachts would be an obvious threat on his second at Galway but was engaged in the 4.08 at Tipperary yesterday.
