Verdict

The progressive IRISH TIMES will likely start a short price bidding for a hat-trick of course and distance wins. He escapes a penalty having landed an apprentices’ race under Dylan Hogan last week and can effectively race off a 5lb lower mark with the latter allowed to use his claim in this. Mans Not Trot lost all chance at the start behind the selection last time when his rider lost her irons but can figure with normal luck in-running while Rising Sunshine has been thereabouts over 7f recently. Casey Banter went close here on her penultimate start and Compass Point is one of the least exposed.
