Verdict

CEROC has made all in both starts in handicaps so far and finished well ahead of previous course winner Bella Bliss at Wexford last time. A 7lb rise doesn’t look insurmountable but Fiveonefive has a 15lb hike to contend with after scoring at Tipperary. I Don't Get It is another with more to find off a higher mark having won at Limerick while Ossifer Hops picked up a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick last time and the reserve Charlie Luciano is another maiden winner while Bravo Team was fit from racing when winning this contest last year.
