Verdict
A low-grade handicap where Gowran winner PARTISAN HERO is one of the few with scope and should make a bold bid to defy an 8lb rise. Stormy Jenn has had a couple of runs over timber since narrowly beaten at Down Royal while Brewel Hill won here last month but didn't run quite as well at Gowran. Stay Local did best when stepped up to 1m2f at Navan and is 8lb higher while Morning Approach has only won once and that was well over a year ago on fast ground. Goldmoyne won over 7f here and, with his yard firing the winners in, could go well at a price.
