Verdict
A very low-grade handicap with Niven carrying top weight by virtue of his victory over a mile at Cork in September though he ran poorly back there a month later. Stanley Daley wasn't beaten far at Dundalk in October and will have needed his run there last month but CHARLIES MISSILE should be up to winning this. Pat Shanahan's charge has been going well at Dundalk over the past few weeks and the opposition looks negligible. Ravens Hill ran his best race on soft ground at Cork in October when he had Candelaria behind though the latter looks the type to do better in his second season. The market should be watched for signs of support for the remainder.
