Verdict
Mic Milano has progressed with each run and did very well to beat Tepalo at Ballinrobe with the remainder will beaten. The assessor has done him no favours but he should still go well as should Carlowsantana, who has dropped to a very reasonable mark and was only just touched off the last time he ran over timber in April. Man In Black, a winner at Ludlow last October, hasn't had much racing subsequently but a couple of recent runs on the Flat will have put him straight for this. Muzak had been running over fences before a reasonable effort over a trip too far back over timber at Ballinrobe and he enters the equation under Katie Walsh but in a wide-open contest a chance is taken that CHARLEVILLE just had an off-day when strongly fancied at Bellewstown as he looked in fine form on his previous start in a Clonmel handicap.
