      Verdict

      ALCOCK AND BROWN (NAP) started favourite for a Killarney handicap last time after gaining his first victory at Fairyhouse but he found the extra furlong on softer going against him and this looks more suitable so he's taken to get back on the winning trail. Monolight makes his handicap debut after landing what looked a strong Roscommon maiden and he's going the right way while Sheeba is running well enough to get involved though she's been beaten off lower marks in her last three starts. Park Rebel should have more to offer as he was conceding Tapering 5lb when beaten in a Navan claimer last time.
