Verdict

Eddie Linehan will make plenty of use of MORESTEAD and, back at his favourite course and on a winning mark, Brendan Powell's charge can defy top weight in this weak affair. Midnight Lyra has shown nothing in two runs over fences while Finnegan Paddy has been a big disappointment. Annie Confidential is a very modest hunter chaser and course winner Curragh Dancer looks a light of former days and races from out of the handicap, even at this lowly level.
