Verdict

Charlie Luciano has had two runs on the Flat since easily landing the odds in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle. He makes his handicap debut over timber as does Zettabyte, beaten a long way into third at Ballinrobe last month. SEQUOIASPIRIT (NAP) was last seen over hurdles last September but was only beaten a neck on that occasion. He's been in excellent form on the Flat, scoring at Gowran and Roscommon, so should take the world of beating. Prioritise was always travelling nicely when landing a Roscommon handicap and, though up 10lb, has a 7lb claimer on board. Monoxide was engaged in the 3.30 here yesterday.
