In depth
Verdict
Carlisle fourth Court Dismissed has his sights lowered and also drops in distance. He shouldn't be far away if back on song while The Cobbler Swayne should do better now going chasing as he's already won between the flags. Amilliontimes could figure off bottom weight but we'll give the nod to Peter Croke's mare MY BETTY, who would have made the odds-on Miss Dinamic work a little harder at Thurles last month had she settled better - this relatively easy track should suit.
