Verdict

Eamon Tyrrell's Casela Park has been running well on the Polytrack at Dundalk of late but it remains to be seen whether he will be as effective back on turf, especially on this fast ground, and a better bet looks to be the reappearing JUSTONEFORTHEROAD, who gets the vote ahead of Green Agenda. Mark Johnston's gelding was not at his best over seven furlongs last time and he should appreciate the return to a mile on fast ground today so has to be respected having been given a chance by the handicapper. Michael Dods has his string in good heart right now so Aldaado has to be considered but he has disappointed in two previous starts this term and looks best watched at present. Daring Dream ran better at Carlisle last time and has to be considered with Jim Goldie's string in good form now but preference is for Justonefortheroad. Richard Fahey's gelding lacks a run this term but the yard have been in great heart so that should not be a problem and he looks worth siding with racing off a mark of 75.
