In depth

Verdict

FROMAJACKTOAKING missed a good opportunity when Tramore was abandoned last week but this should provide compensation. He's improved with each run and would have finished much closer to Harley's Harley at Sligo last time but for being short of room when challenging. Jim Bolger has been unable to find another race for Einsteins Folly, who has been competing at a high level since scoring at Leopardstown in June. This represents a drop in grade and he has plenty going for him. Bolger also runs Sceilg, who takes a big step up in trip on her handicap debut, while none of the remaining trio can be discounted though all will need to improve.
