Verdict
Carry Each Other has competed at a much higher level since beating today's rival Witness Of Fashion at Gowran in March and is now just 4lb higher. The runner-up blotted his copybook when refusing at Fairyhouse last time but has the form to get competitive if in the mood. Mr Goodenough was beaten 19l into fourth in that Gowran event while Milan Breeze was a long way behind and was well beaten in second on his reappearance at Down Royal. Winning point-to-pointer and hunter chaser Winter Magic jumped poorly at Killarney when last seen in May and makes his handicap debut so this can go to FEDERICI. Enda Bolger's five-year-old couldn't get close to Embracing Change at the last meeting here but showed there was a race of this nature waiting for him and this looks it. On The Shannon was struggling when falling at the second last in that event but can get involved with a clear round while Miss Xian is another making her handicap debut and she doesn't look on a bad mark.
