Verdict
Important Message hasn't won since 2020 but has been running well enough to get competitive in this low-grade handicap. Chief Seattle came good when dropped down to 2m5f at Ballinrobe but had earlier been beaten four lengths by MISS US O (NAP) over this trip at Kilbeggan. The latter has since performed well over this track and trip and is still on a low enough mark to take this. Swiss Brid has never won but stayed this trip over hurdles and will have found 2m3f too short when runner-up at Kilbeggan. Dalileo has been inconsistent over hurdles but made a fair start over fences at Wexford in June.
