Verdict
Willie Mullins has a good chance with runners in the first two races and SHANNING, lightly raced and a winner over 2m4f here last summer, wasn’t entirely disgraced on his return to action in the Galway Hurdle and will strip fitter here. Poseidon finished ahead of Due Reward at Bellewstown after winning at Limerick and was second last time at Galway. Rasiym has shown improvement in his last two outings with a similar comment applying to Arthurian Fame, who is making his handicap debut over timber today. Gavin Cromwell sent out last year’s winner but Bentham has plenty to find with Poseidon on recent form. Born By The Sea ran three times at the Galway Festival but remains in good form and could sneak into a place, despite a further rise in the weights. Golden Spear was due to run on the Flat here yesterday.
