Verdict
HENRY HOWARD finished runner-up in heavy going at Limerick but has been beaten a long way in two subsequent starts on good ground. He's no stable star but this is such a weak contest that he's handed the vote. Runyon Rattler produced a fair run here in October but has gone backwards while winning bumper Lockeen Girl was beaten a distance when last seen in October and makes her debut over timber.
