      Verdict

      Kilbeggan Blade gets the confident vote here with Kitski and Sailor A'Hoy rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Ferimon with plenty in hand he enters handicaps off what looks a lenient mark and under conditions that suit he is hard to oppose. Kitski rates the main danger on his latest third behind Ever Present but he looks vulnerable to a less exposed type under top weight and is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Sailor A'Hoy is well weighted on his best form but has looked a shadow of his former self of late. Dads Lad may just need the run after a 696 day absence and for the winner we return to the progressive Kilbeggan Blade who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
