      Verdict

      A strong Irish challenge in this and Eleuthera was having his first start of the year when scoring over 7f here back in July. But stablemate TAI SING YEH is preferred having won over course and distance in both previous visits and finishing in front of compatriot Rattling Jewel at Navan last month. The latter went on to score over 7f at Listowel and is 5lb higher while there was little between Dancing Rave and Yes You when filling the places at Hamilton in August but both were due to run in the same race at Hamilton yesterday.
