Verdict
It's no surprise to see JOHNGUS turning out with a penalty after making all here on Wednesday and a similar effort would see him hard to catch. Natural Breeze is very consistent and likes the ground but has only won once in 25 starts. St Denis's Well went up 9lb for beating a big field at Navan and he turns out quickly after another good run at Down Royal on Tuesday where he didn't get going until too late. Young Fitzy hasn't won for over two years but has dropped to a lenient mark while The Flying Donkey showed his first sign of life on his handicap debut at Tramore.
