In depth

Verdict

WRONG TURN has been hit with an incredible 17lb hike in the weights after his romp at Killarney on Sunday so it's hardly surprising he turns out here with a 6lb penalty and is impossible to oppose. Quiet Thought made a very impressive debut over fences but that was back in 2011 on fast ground and the handicapper may have overreacted. Playing has been running well and is just 7lb higher than for his last victory while Fourth Class, a comfortable winner at Killarney in July, has been given a break since a poor effort at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting.
