After staying on to win over a mile last time INISHERAGHT is taken to follow up in this handicap at the expense of Dusty Trail and Metropolis. The late nature of the pick's win on that last start suggests that this step up in trip will only be a positive and the handicapper has not been overly harsh. Dusty Trail made a nice seasonal bow to only just miss out and now that bit fitter should go close again. Metropolis has run a couple of solid races from this rating recently but looks better over further while Crafty George offered plenty of encouragement on his first start for over a year. A truly wide open affair that can go to last time out winner Inisheraght.
