Verdict

The bottom half of these are out of the handicap but Peak Raider is not out of this as he reverts to the minimum trip. SCOTSIRISH generally competes at a higher level over longer trips but has the pace for this and Ruby Walsh has been on board for all five career victories. Former Paul Nicholls inmate Free World scored for Arthur Moore at Ballinrobe before finding 2m4f on heavy ground too much at Listowel and Idarah is just 2lb higher than when beating Osana at Fairyhouse in April. King High just failed to catch Mahrajaan over 2m2f at Gowran and is tried in first-time blinkers.
