Verdict

DYNAMIC ALLEN signalled an imminent victory when just beaten in a big field over 2m4f at Fairyhouse then came here two weeks ago to score over 2m1f. A 7lb rise doesn't look excessive and he can go in again. Monition hasn't won yet but went very close when tackling 2m6f here a fortnight ago where he led until the closing stages. He's an obvious threat but British Art is 14lb higher than his latest victory and ran poorly at Clonmel last time. Beeper's Ruby can go well from the bottom of the handicap as she's only 4lb higher than when scoring at Fairyhouse in February but A Place Apart, who won a maiden here in October, looks high enough in the weights.
