Verdict

Micky Hammond wouldn't be a regular visitor to Ireland so the presence of Just Cameron, a comfortable winner at Wetherby last month, has to be respected. Clarcam is having his fifth run already this year though all have been over longer trips. His best form has been over further and he's quite heavily penalised for his three victories over the bigger obstacles. Alisier D'Irlande has seen the back of Jezki and Douvan in recent races and has nothing of their calibre to deal with so should make a bold bid but Westerners Son, who won a handicap on this course a fortnight ago, is taking on better class opposition. PAIROFBROWNEYES is a tough and consistent performer who has been competing really well in strong handicaps and though he's continued to creep up the weights without winning this looks a good opportunity to get back on track.
