Verdict
KLEPHT, yet to finish out of the frame between the flags or in bumpers, deserves a change of luck and it's no surprise to see him make a quick reappearance after finishing third at Killarney last Thursday. He'll never get a better chance to win a race as this is an uninspiring contest which features half-a-dozen newcomers and several who have shown limited ability so far. Tony Martin's Lagan Canal may be the pick of the debutants while Cloch Anna was second at Ballinrobe in July, though well beaten at Galway next time.
