Verdict
Cairdiuil has a massive weight to carry in this ground and is 9lb higher than his latest victory. Jackie Ellis has received a 7lb rise for her victory at Killarney which appears excessive as that was her first success. But she should still get competitive as should Bribe The Bouncer, the only course and distance winner in the line-up and now on a fair mark. Prince Jock was behind Jackie Ellis at Killarney but Indy Gal has dropped to a lowly mark and should be losing her maiden tag soon. BAY HILL had looked progressive on the Flat and over hurdles in the autumn and started favourite on his reappearance but didn't get the best of runs and can gain compensation.
