Verdict

PEAK SEASONS gets on well with Gerard Galligan, knows his way around here and arrives in decent form. He shouldn't be far away again but Pairc Na Gcapall needs further and hunter chaser Orfeo Conti hasn't won under Rules since 2009. Ifonlyalfie continues to creep up the weights, despite not winning, but should be in the mix and makes more appeal than veteran Hurricane Carter and Flichity.
