Verdict

Well Above Par has gone right off the boil but Treshnish is proving more consistent this season, though was well behind CEDAR HILL in this last year. Sandy Thomson’s gelding is back on the same mark and attracted market support in an arguably stronger contest here last time, when he wasn’t beaten far despite finishing last of six. Wheelbahri was prolific last season and has won his last two around here so rates a threat along with the lightly-raced novice Jetoile. Donny Boy is preferred to Oscars Leader of the remainder.
