Verdict
BALLYREESODE has really found his form over the past few weeks and followed his Wexford success with another over today's rival Sterling Stuff at Ballinrobe. The runner-up can get closer on the revised terms and there should be little in it though the winner appeared to have a bit in hand. Marshim was racing off his highest ever mark when successful over the track and trip a fortnight ago and has shot up another 7lb so this looks tough for the veteran. Battlemount has attracted support on several occasions but mainly disappointed and the lightly-raced Rolling Rocket is up 7lb after scrambling home on his handicap debut over the minimum trip at Navan.
