Verdict

Lets High Five It isn't very consistent but would have a chance on his victory on soft going at Thurles in February and a recent run will have put him straight. Rock On Rosie has the form for this at her best and she's been racing on the Flat at Dundalk but in the expectation of testing ground ALL THE CHIMNEYS will take some beating. He completed a double in heavy ground in the spring and had similar underfoot conditions when coming with a late run to score at Fairyhouse last month. Barrys Jack relished the step-up to 2m5f to land a Limerick handicap but Backinthesaddle made a successful handicap debut at Down Royal and must have a good chance of a double with just 4lb extra. Like A Demon has been narrowly beaten the last twice and didn't get the run of the race at Punchestown on New Year's Eve.
