Verdict
Bridge Of Fermoy gets the vote in this claimer with Days Of Pleasure and Caprio rating the main dangers. The selection was second behind Carry on Cleo when given a poor ride last time out. He has a little in hand at the weights with all of his rivals here and under conditions that suit he is taken to regain the winning thread. Days Of Pleasure rates the main danger on his latest third behind Lizzie Wiggins but he would be 1lb better off with the selection if this were a handicap and he is taken on with this in mind. Caprio is another that could go well on his latest second behind Dhhamaan but he often finds less than expected off the bridle and he too looks best watched. Diedamas is dropping in class and should be watched in the market with a yard liking a tilt at the ring but for the winner we are happy to return to Bridge Of Fermoy.
