In depth
Verdict
Clara More was beaten a long way when third at Wexford but had done better earlier over slightly further at Downpatrick. Old Theatre Royal gained his only success at Ballinrobe in September but is now 12lb higher after some decent efforts in defeat. BURNFORT GIRL has been setting the pace before fading over longer trips and may be well enough suited by dropping back in trip to make all from her low mark. The former Ballydoyle inmate Scottish Reel hasn't shown much over timber but makes his handicap debut and this is a moderate contest.
