Verdict
This looks competitive and From The Ashes is by no means out of this despite a big weight as he is 12lb lower than his chase mark. Penny Jar and The Banger Doyle are consistent and have been racing on the Flat and though Our Bobby is 7lb higher than when scoring at Bellewstown his riders claims that back. DRAGON‘S PASS gave notice of an imminent victory when beaten a neck at Sligo and went one better over this track and trip three weeks ago and a 6lb rise looks manageable. Ishan absolutely sluiced up on heavy ground at Limerick which is why he has been hit with a 12lb rise while Hard Rain has only won once in 22 starts and is 13lb higher. Hat-trick seeking Hunting Brook would be an obvious threat if getting a run.
