Verdict
This is a low-grade affair and not many arrive in form. The maiden Trixie Mc didn't appear to enjoy testing conditions over the track and trip last time while DANEGELD has yet to be placed in nine starts over timber though showed much more dash at Tramore. Marino Marvel has a career strike-rate of 0-39 and can hardly be trusted while the veteran De Bennette is 1-17 over hurdles but he's back on the same mark as when last successful. Peace Party is dropping to a lowly mark but hasn't shown enough to be considered while potential backers would need to forgive Boston Babe a poor run at Ballinrobe.
