Verdict
Chicago Time, caught on the line over 2m6f at Ballinrobe, just failed to catch the winner over 2m at Listowel so this trip should be his optimum. Coconut Tudor was narrowly beaten on his debut at Clonmel but was beaten when falling at the last on a return visit. Mahlers Dollar appears to need testing ground but Alexharwill has been going well at Downpatrick and should get involved. Babylon Beach disappointed over this trip at Listowel but winning point-to-pointer Frontier General has joined Henry De Bromhead and is one to note. MOLLYS GLORY, a winning bumper, looks the one to be on as she attracted support for a Listed race at Gowran following her second place at Downpatrick and has the weights in her favour.
