Verdict
After a long break, Listenheretomejack had just the one run before landing a Gowran handicap over this trip where he had the four-year-old BY YOUR SIDE (NAP) around eight lengths behind in third. But the latter, who was making his handicap debut, made several mistakes and a better round of jumping can see him reverse the form on the revised terms. His trainer also has Knocknagappagh engaged though she disappointed at Down Royal after looking a likely future winner. Bal De Rio's second at Limerick came in a 2m5f claiming hurdle while Look Dont Touch is still a maiden though has run well over this trip the last twice.
