Verdict

HOUSE LIMIT has struck form since the ground turned faster and dead-heated here last month before a reasonable run behind Potrade and Quarton at Bellewstown. The front two have won subsequently so the form could prove strong enough for this. Swantykay is still a maiden but did better behind Routes Delight at Bellewstown last weekend while Thoonavolla has definitely improved recently and his latest second to the in-form Diamondgeezerluke at Ballinrobe points to his claim. Whitehead Lad is still a maiden after 35 career start, 20 of them over hurdles, so he hardly looks one to support and Charger has been out of form since winning here two years ago.
