Verdict

Tai Sing Yeh had been in fine form before taking on much better company at Dundalk on Tueaday while James McAuley also runs Sunday Sovereign, the easy winner of a similar race at Bellewstown last month. Big Baby Bull and Is That Love are very closely matched on their 1-2 in a Limerick claimer but it's about time AMPESON was winning again. Successful on this track last summer, he would have a chance as good as any on his close third at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start.
