Verdict
Beau Satchel has won at this meeting three years in a row including on Tuesday for which he picks up a 5lb penalty. Adrian McGuinness has booked the excellent 7lb claimer Oisin Orr this time and another big run is anticipated. DEEDS NOT WORDS won six races for Mick Channon but has yet to score for new connections. He looked as though his turn was near when staying on strongly over 6f at Fairyhouse three weeks ago and gets the vote. Sister Slew gained an impressive victory at Roscommon but an 8lb rise may stop her in her tracks. She was beaten a head in this last year by Chillie Billie, who finished mid-division behind Beau Satchel earlier in the week. Cairdiuil couldn't quite get to Millefiori over a mile here on Wednesday but chased home Beau Satchel over 7f a year ago and just comes out best at the weights so has to be a threat to all. Chapter One has shown nothing in maidens but wouldn't be representing Dermot Weld unless thought capable of giving a good account on his handicap debut.
