DR IRV never threatened in a couple of recent starts over shorter trips but had Sohcahtoa well behind when a close-up third at Ripon over today's distance last month. A similar effort should be enough to land this poor handicap given the lack of serious competition. Geanie Mac managed to at least make the frame at Hamilton last time which is more than can be said for any of the remainder who all arrive in dire form and are easily overlooked.
