In depth

Verdict

Gusty Rocky landed a Tramore maiden in August then found 2m4f too far on his reappearance at Wexford and has a big weight to carry here. Danequest has been racing on the Flat but his last victory was over a mile on this track a year ago when the ground was very fast. Bashful Beauty hasn't really progressed from his maiden victory at Wexford in July while Thanks For Tea looked one paced over 2m3f here last month though that was her best run to date. Punch Bag easily landed a Tramore maiden before finding handicap company at Clonmel too much for him. He finished in front of JUST CALL ME that day but the latter, who had shown potential in similar company to this previously, was in touch for a long way before fading and should be ready for this.
