Verdict

Indulging is 0-15 but has shown some ability and this is a poor race. Vale Of Glory scored on good ground at Killarney last summer and will have found the going too sticky in his two recent races. SKIP MAHLER looked like winning when leading at the second last at Ballinrobe but couldn't cope when the winner went past at the last. Today's quicker ground can see him hang on though the four-year-old Alphonse Le Grande has been suspended since staying on from off the pace at Thurles in February and Peter Carberry replaces an amateur. Crafty Gael is another down in the basement who looks as though he has more to offer.
