Verdict
Thomas O'Malley is comfortably the top-rated here but has been in poor form since placed twice at Dundalk earlier in the year. Tennesse Waltz has a few pounds to find on official figures and though he's run well in similar company the last twice both of those runs were over much shorter. MILITARY HILL has a poor strike-rate but hasn't been beaten far in handicaps in his most recent starts and the drop in class can enable him to double his winning tally. Topamichi managed to win six times in the UK and will be better for his debut for new connections at Killarney last week while Kevin Prendergast won this last year and Rise Again is taking a drop in class. Fox Dream would have an outstanding chance if staying the trip but both of her victories have been over 7f.
