Verdict

Watermelon produces his best runs on fast ground and has dropped to a fair mark though an absence since October is a concern. Astral Charmer has produced a couple of decent efforts but he's still a maiden after 18 career starts and this looks a tough event. Winning point-to-pointer NOVEMBER PAPA GOLF has yet to reach a place in five starts over timber but Tony Martin knows how to place his horses to the best effect and this one has dropped to a very lowly mark. Macra Na Feirme was engaged at Sligo yesterday and a big run there would put him in the frame for this.
