Verdict
GAGAS HORSE won a bumper here and showed potential over timber before joining Gavin Cromwell and running well after a very long break last month. He looks to have as good a chance as any in a tricky handicap. Sunset Sadie won a Clonmel handicap by 22 lengths in February and was 13lb higher when scoring there again last month. She's been hit with another 7lb rise but is probably still on a decent mark. Offshore Oscar, runner-up over 3m here in October, was sent to Cheltenham last month and was in the lead at the last before fading on the run-in over that 2m5f trip. He looks well in on that form and has to be on the short-list along with Rolanna, placed in a Cork Listed contest last month.
