Verdict

VINNIE IS BUSY’s latest second at Limerick came over fences but he has shown ability over hurdles and looks the form pick in this with Philip Byrnes’ claiming 7lb. Pale Blue Dot has placed twice in handicaps and She Is Electric should have learned plenty from her fourth at Galway. Kilbeggan runner-up Jumping Susie is a likely improver while Innellan Shore is likely to prove the pick of Gordon Elliott’s duo.
