A low-grade affair with nothing really in form so JACK HOLIDAY gets the nod. He's been chasing, winning at Tramore in April, and a mark of 90 is probably underestimating his ability over timber as he's 17lb higher over the bigger obstacles. Still Alive has won from higher marks and it wouldn't be a surprise to see an improved run while A Mere Bagatelle ran a bit better at Wexford. Gone Racing won a Tramore handicap on good ground last July and, though 8lb higher, has to be given a chance in this poor-quality handicap.
