    Verdict

    It's Two O Clock started long odds-on for his debut here at the beginning of last month and had no problems seeing off KHWARIZMI at level weights. The runner-up has subsequently won a maiden and is a massive 15lb better off so looks to have every chance of turning the tables. He beat today's rival Snow Patch narrowly for his maiden victory and the latter has since failed to stay 6f. Boragh Steps, a winner at Fairyhouse in July, ran very well on his debut here in October and didn't get the run of the race on a return visit three weeks later.
