Verdict
Denis Hogan won this a year ago and Fiosrach is capable of a big run at his best despite a big weight but stablemate Redwood Boy is out of form. King's Wharf isn't one of his stable's stars and is only 1lb lower than when comfortably beaten at Bellewstown and Hes Our Robin is still a maiden and been beaten off this mark several times. ICELIP went up 5lb for winning at Tramore and hasn't quite run as well in two races subsequently but this is a moderate handicap and he looks to have every chance of getting back to winning ways. Our Jerry is steadily finding his level and hasn't been beaten far in two similar races recently so should get involved while any money for Mr Smith should be duly noted.
