Verdict
HE'S LEADING ME ON keeps going up in the weights without winning but is still on a fair mark and this looks his best chance of getting off the mark. Strong Roots was nine lengths behind him at Wexford last time and appears unlikely to reverse the form. Boston Brahmin is 0-20 but his best recent run came over this trip on good ground at Roscommon last month when beaten less than two lengths. Grinn is 0-22 but has gone close on several occasions including on this sort of ground at Kilbeggan but Golden Sandbanks has yet to reach a place in seven starts over timber.
