Verdict
The Pargey Bee has attracted support on several occasions and, though yet to win, hasn't been beaten far and is at the right end of the handicap. Together Aclaim has run his best races at Dundalk while Level Pitch, runner-up at Sligo last month, can't have been right when last at Gowran on Saturday. Poets Cottage makes his handicap debut with Colin Keane on board for the first time.but Chicago Lightening has been fading over shorter. HELPMEOUT has been running well enough in similar handicaps in recent weeks to suggest she can get off the mark under the in-form Billy Lee so gets the nod in a tricky handicap.
