The Unsub was sent to Ayr for three bumpers in the early part of the year, winning one and finishing runner-up in the other two, all on ground with plenty of give. He's definitely one for the future though the concession of 8lb to BETTER BACK BOB may prove beyond him. Neil McKnight's charge has been beaten narrowly in three of his last four starts over timber, the last two over this course and distance. He's due a change of fortune and with fast ground in his favour he's handed the vote. Old Castletown looks certain to provide a threat after an excellent run behind Donatis Comet over slightly shorter at Sligo where he was battling on at the finish. Little Vinnie couldn't handle Bosman Rule at Listowel and may do better when getting some give in the ground.
