Verdict
Listentillitellyea is still a maiden and has been racing over shorter while another lightweight, Krabat, would prefer testing ground. Dorans Boy was beaten a long way over a trip too short here on Wednesday after landing a Cork maiden but ALVARO has been running well enough to land this. From a stable that targets these handicaps at the fixture, he won a Tramore maiden in April and just failed to catch Finest Evermore over 2m6f at Killarney last month. Skippin Court won a maiden at the fixture a year ago and landed a Sligo handicap in July but Auckland has disappointed over timber and on the Flat since landing a Killarney maiden. Rachael Blackmore was on board for both Watch The Weather's victories in August and regains the ride despite Henry De Bromhead having a runner.
