Verdict

NOT A BAD OUL DAY is the only course winner in the line-up and though that was over 7f he won't have a problem with the extra and has slipped to a winnable mark. No Way Jack is consistent enough at this level though a strike-rate of 1-36 is a concern while the veteran Oor Jock has been climbing the weights after a couple of all-weather victories. Easy Boy rarely runs away from Dundalk these days and has a higher mark on Turf and though Smiling Emily wasn't far behind Keep Believing at Navan she's 0-20 and would prefer some give.
