Verdict

A low-grade handicap in which Warreedy is likely to attract support. Very lightly raced for his age, he easily beat Rudy Catrail over fences on his reappearance at Roscommon but the positions were well and truly reversed over hurdles at Tipperary a fortnight later. MICKEY SHEA has never won under Rules but ran his best race on this track last summer and again ran well here last month so could be good enough. Rippon Lodge has a big weight but very nearly made all over the track and trip last month and wasn't right at Tipperary a week later. Our Majella ran well over a trip too short at Tramore and Rachael Blackmore keeps the ride but Boston Babe is 0-18 and has been on this mark for her last eleven starts.
