Verdict
Evesham Star has run well in two minor handicaps recently but is still a maiden after 27 career starts. Key People has run well enough in a couple of similar events to be considered though he'll need to find more but Fairy Court has been well beaten in his last two starts over timber. ALL FIRED UP was a 50/1 chance when capsizing two out while in front at Kilbeggan last month and would have gone close if standing up so he gets the nod. Killdunne has been in good form between the flags but Sea Master is a chaser these days and has never won a race while Our Lady Carmel has a problem jumping the hurdles. Texas Rose ran well enough in a handicap at Ballinrobe last time to get involved in a race without too much depth.
