This is a moderate contest but may still be too tough for the four-year-old Focussed, who makes his handicap debut. MOSSY ISLAND should probably have won by now and mistakes have cost him on a couple of occasions. He was beaten less than a length when third over a slightly longer trip at Limerick last time and can gain his first success. The Yellow Bin has had 16 runs over hurdles without winning but went very close when runner-up to He Is Top Class at Sligo a year ago and has performed with credit on several subsequent occasions. He's a likely danger and Georgie could be given a chance on some of his earlier form though he's run poorly over fences recently.
