Verdict

Dramatic, Rann Na Cille and Billy Red look the three to concentrate on in this trappy handicap and the narrow vote is given to Dramatic. The selection won well last time out when beating Drifting Gold, that form has since been franked and despite his penalty he still looks ahead of the handicaper and he will be hard to beat. Rann Na Cille rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Desert Master but he has had plenty of chances off similar marks without taking one and again he looks vulnerable. Billy Red is another that could go well on his best form but he has not progressed as expected of late and he will need to improve for the fitting of first time blinkers if he is to score. Of the remainder The Jay Factor is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Dramatic who will be hard to beat.
