Verdict

Enda Bolger has no hesitation in bringing out BALLYOISIN again after an impressive victory in a very tough handicap at Killarney on Tuesday. He's now had five starts over fences, won two and fallen in the remainder so providing he stays on his feet victory number three should be his. Attribution is a very progressive chaser with a Grade Three victory to his credit and he wasn't beaten far in a Grade Two on this track behind Bellshill so he'll be no pushover. Shadow Catcher was headed right on the line in a Punchestown handicap in May but has generally been found wanting when stepping up in class while both Rocky Court and Kalann have plenty to find.
