Verdict

Johnny Murtagh looks to have a fine chance here with Harmonyofthestars and PROSECUTION (NAP). The former is returning from a long break after a victory at Dundalk in November and makes his handicap debut but the latter was having his first start for the yard when narrowly beaten by No Way Jack at Leopardstown last month. Still a maiden, connections won't be pleased with a 5lb rise and Hasselnott, who wasn't far behind in fourth, should get closer. Koybig, who had a tremendous run at Dundalk at the backend of last year, hasn't been as effective on Turf while Nothing To Lose could find the going too soft as all of his three victories have come on much quicker ground.
