In depth
Verdict
Not the strongest of events to finish with mainly exposed types in opposition. Advance East has been a good servant in his time and is clearly on the downgrade now, while Jolly Side isn't the horse he was in Ireland. Catchatan is at least open to some improvement and is given the vote to land a less than inspiring event. King Of Mommur hasn't won for nearly two years and may need this outing after a lay off, while Reach For The Clouds also finds winning difficult, having not been in front for nearly three years.
