Verdict
Seskin Flyer’s run at Tipperary just over three weeks ago was too bad to be true. He’s on a long losing run but is well handicapped nowadays as a result and this won’t take much winning. Fly De Megaudais is still 5lb higher than when scoring at Downpatrick just over a year ago but has claims while Krisquin showed a bit more at Wexford last month. GOLDEN FERRET had the proverbial ton in hand at Downpatrick three weeks ago. He’s been raised 7lb and his rider can only claim 5lb now but a double is probably on the cards.
