A seller in all but name and CARRIG AN UISCE is the call in it with Tifernati and Imperial Royale on the shortlist of possibles. The selection has blinkers on this afternoon for the first time and while winning has proved difficult, his second place behind Bosamcliff at Hereford might just be good enough form to put him forward as the selection in a race where there is little worthwhile form to discuss. Tifernati was rated in the high 80's on the flat. He is just 62 at this discipline and the headgear is on. Imperial Royale returned from absence last time out so should have come on for the run. The handicapper has at least given him a chance. Investment Wings is a regular in plating company but his recent form has been punctuated by a lack of finishes. Alwaysablue hasn't built upon some promise shown in bumpers. Little Rort has arguably shown his better form over further but with soft ground obtaining, he could find his stamina brought into play. Artic Bliss was exuberant on a sizeable return from absence and ran no sort of race. If the jockey can secure some cover - a repeat performance will hopefully be avoided. Laybach represents a shrewd yard so any money at longer odds should not be ignored. Time To Play should be fit enough following a few recent spins on the flat. Carrig An Uisce is the call in a race that makes very limited betting appeal.
