      Verdict

      BOSSTIME went off favourite on his belated debut in a moderate contest here last month but ran very green. He should have come on enough for the experience to take this. Instruct, who fell over hurdles at Thurles last month, has shown some potential in his two starts on this track while Runaiocht has done much better since tackling tonight's trip and hasn't been beaten far in handicaps on his two latest starts. The remaining quartet have shown virtually nothing.
