Plenty in with chances including the useful hunter Turtle Gale, who makes his handicap debut from a fair mark. Leney Dow Jones has been suffering in the weights and may find this on the short side, a remark that also applies to Strawhall Maul, while Adanaeur was a big disappointment at Limerick after an unlucky fall there on his previous start. SILENCE SPEAKS came with a late burst to catch Pipers Blaze over 2m3f at Wexford and this trip will suit. He's only 4lbs higher and has won a point-to-point on ground with plenty of give. Greengables has never won over fences but ran well behind Adajal here in May and must be considered.
