Verdict

With Mick Hourigan's runners in excellent form it wouldn't be wise to dismiss the chances of Dizzy Rascal despite the six-year-old's maiden status as he occasionally produces a decent performance. Stablemate Castle Major has yet to shine and would need major improvement to get involved. BYEFORTHEPRESENT has been a beaten favourite on his two latest starts including when ten lengths behind Essifer in a maiden here last July. He has more scope than most of these rivals and is taken to recoup losses. Lord Multifix produced his best run here in March behind Ilikeyou but ran poorly at Gowran last time and is fitted with blinkers for the first time.
