Verdict

Ballyheigue Bay would have found 2m4f too short on his reappearance but 3m around here may also be sharp enough. Exitas looks in the handicapper’s grip while Springtown Lake tries a new trip and Kilcrea Vale was found wanting upped to 3m at Doncaster last season. Just A Sting is a progressive sort who may have more to offer but there are other recent winners in opposition including Deauville Dancer, successful here last month. WANDRIN STAR has recorded both victories so far at Bangor but he went readily clear last time so a 12lb rise is fully justified. He shouldn’t be far away if as effective going right-handed. Adrien Du Pont has a touch of class but is hard to win with nowadays.
