Verdict
Eddie O'Connell has been making a name for himself and was on board Breeze With Ease when Jimmy Lambe's charge scored at Downpatrick recently, the day that the young jockey completed a treble. Rory's Sister and Baynes Cross finished third and fourth but appear unlikely to reverse the form with the winner on the revised terms. Zhdanovichy ran an incredible race behind Jack Cool at Killarney in July as he had been off the course for over three years. He's obviously had his problems but if over them would take the world of beating. Vinnie was also returning from a long break when a very good third to OLD THEATRE ROYAL at Ballinrobe last week and should get closer on 7lbs better terms. The winner was suited by racing on soft ground for the first time in a while and can follow up in similar conditions.
