Verdict

Dylrow had shown promise in bumpers and was having his first start since March when third in a strong maiden at the Festival last month, though beaten a long way. Enumerater did better on winter ground than during the summer and further rain would aid his cause but this can go to RUNYON RATTLER, a winning bumper who has looked likely to appreciate this step up in trip after two placed efforts at Sligo. Diva Dawn was beaten a long way when runner-up in a four-horse race at Bellewstown though that was over three miles.
