Verdict
Clancy Strand was raised 6lbs for scoring over this trip at Ballinrobe and by the same amount when caught close home over an extra furlong at Bellewstown. He's still progressing and should go well as should Time Machine, who was four lengths behind in that latter event and has since won nicely at Perth. Blue Ridge Lane is still a maiden and has a little to find but CYBERSNOW a winner over 2m and 2m7f in August, ran well enough at Sligo last time to suggest he is quite capable of winning again under the fine claimer Keith Donoghue. Redzer Gazgoff is still a maiden over timber and is on his highest-ever mark as is Macidoni, now 10lbs higher than when landing a handicap here in February.
