Verdict
RICH LAW NO LAW posted a much better effort on his handicap debut when third at Tipperary. Kevin Prendergast’s charge can confirm running with Speedy Pix and go close again in a weak handicap. Mass Gathering has won a claimer over 6f but has failed to figure in a couple of previous attempts over today’s trip while Cisco Disco was still beaten a long way when third at Gowran. The remainder are even harder to recommend though the likes of Vazzy and Ellabella may improve now handicapping.
