Verdict
Ballycassidy should be capable of accounting for Blackchurch Mist. Peter Bowen looks to have revitalised the career of this promising stayer and provided that he feels not too much in the way of ill-effects after a rough race at Galway - he looks very difficult to get away from as our selection. Blackchurch Mist has run some decent races this term and while she is a game mare - she looks safely held on the official figures. At prohibitive odds, Ballycassidy should record another victory.
