Verdict

Gee Rex has disappointed since landing a course and distance handicap in June though it wouldn't be a shock to see him bounce back. CARRYTHEONE was beaten a head by Delphi here in June and the winner has massively boosted the form subsequently. Johnny Murtagh's charge then landed a maiden here and with further progress likely can make a successful handicap debut. Frank Arthur is a real threat after just failing to hold Fame And Acclaim in a strong handicap over track and trip. He still looks on a fair mark, holds So Suave on that run, and looks certain to get into contention. Protagonist completed a double before finding a strong Navan handicap won by Delphi too much to handle while Strongbowe failed to stay 1m2f at Leopardstown after landing a 7f Roscommon maiden.
