Verdict
INDEVAN has long been regarded as a bright prospect and this sort of trip should bring out the best in him as he won a point-to-point. He had Lots Of Memories a couple of lengths behind over 2m5f at Limerick last time and should confirm the form and take this. The latter had a battle with Silver Tassie at Listowel earlier, just coming out on top, so there should be very little between that pair again. Courtncatcher has won four handicaps since June and is a really tough type who deserves a crack at this grade but the remaining trio will all need to step up on what they have shown so far.
