Verdict

A race for horses who have never been placed where the market is best watched. Jullou De Grissay was a 200/1 chance when running his best race to date over 2m4f on heavy ground at Gowran. Andyourbirdcansing ran well when fourth on her penultimate start but that was over 2m. Ask Anything, a winner between the flags, didn't show much in bumpers but this will suit him much better and he can get into the action though the vote goes to MILFORDFOURTHREE. Also a winning point-to-pointer, her close fourth behind Emily In Paris, who runs in the Listed race earlier, at Killarney would probably be good enough for this.
