Verdict
Lovely Reaction won a similar low-grade handicap here but ran poorly from a 9lb higher mark at Clonmel. Young Fitzy, who has won over fences, has been running reasonably well at a similar level but KATE ILL KNOW (NAP) looked well at home on testing ground when a close third to Royal Rhythm at Clonmel last week and the winner can give the form a boost in the previous race. Crowsatedappletart has run poorly since two placed efforts at Clonmel.
