A low-grade handicap in which WELLMARKED looks well enough treated to gain just his second victory on Turf. He's been in find form recently following a third to the in-form Bubbly Bellini at Limerick with a narrow defeat by Ningaloo Reef at Naas and, as he's just 1lb higher, should get back on the winning trail. Kardyls Hope hasn't won since 2010 and has dropped in the ratings accordingly but he hasn't been running well enough to consider for this. Sassaway is held by the selection on that Limerick run and is still a maiden after 28 starts while the veterans Fit The Cove and Parc Aux Boules are in poor form at present.
