Verdict
The commentator will love Wagadoogoochoochoo, who unfortunately for him is likely to get involved though he didn't appear to quite last out this trip last month after his victory over a mile at Gowran. HELLO HUMPFREY gained his first career success over the course and distance last time where he won convincingly. He's been raised 10lb but the in-form claimer Robbie Downey rides and a follow-up looks on the cards. Hilary has been staying on strongly over a mile but she ran over this sort of trip earlier without much success and is still a maiden. Grandma Dotty could prove a threat as she scored over 1m4f at Roscommon last September and was having just her third subsequent run when a close fourth to Home Secretary here earlier this month.
