Verdict

City Hustler has been running well since faster ground arrived but he's still a maiden and has had his chances. MR BONES landed a handicap at Kilbeggan two years ago from tonight's mark and has had very little racing since. He returned after a long break with a very encouraging run at Punchestown last month and gets the vote to repay each-way support in a very tough handicap. Bedford Row ran easily his best race to date at Ballinrobe last time when well supported though he may be a couple of pounds high in the weights, a remark that also applies to Don't Think Twice, still a maiden over timber after 15 runs. Fabled looked promising when landing a Kilbeggan maiden last June and hasn't had much racing subsequently.
