In depth
Verdict
Dual winning point-to-pointer Theresathingwrong gained his first success over regulation fences at Limerick last week but it was a poor contest and a 7lb rise won't help. MEADOWS THYNE is only moderate but could be good enough on just his fourth start over fences as he was in very good form over timber in the spring and landed a tough handicap at Galway. Etcetera Etcetera is 11lb higher than when scoring over 3m1f at Kilbeggan in August and the biggest threat may emerge from Havagoodsip. Arthur Moore's charge is still a maiden after 14 career starts but looked ready to win soon when a good fourth behind Darling Harbour at Down Royal earlier this month.
