Verdict
Limerick winner Arctic Ambition had leading claims at Ballinrobe yesterday so COCOPLUM gets the vote. The latter separated higher rated horses than these when runner-up at Down Royal and there looks more to come over today’s distance back in a handicap. Townhill Penny finished in front of Navigator Jack when that pair filled the places at Tipperary with the former preferred again while Midnight Our Fred posted a better effort at Tipperary last time.
