Verdict

ROCK CRITIC could hardly have been more impressive at Galway last week, coming home an incredible 8l clear of Quench The Flame over today's trip. The handicapper will have his say so running here with a 5lbs penalty looked the best option and a quick double looks on the cards. Cullofane created a shock when scoring over the C&D last month, her first success in 18 starts, but she will need to do better with a 6lbs rise to contend with. Bipasha is still a maiden after 17 starts but runs the occasional good race as she did at Ballinrobe last time though the suspicion is that she needs further.
