      Verdict

      Killabraher Cross beat DANCING DIK (NAP) by 10 lengths over course and distance two weeks ago but would have struggled to peg back the runner-up had Paul Henderson's charge not tried to take the third-last by the roots when clear and travelling strongly - the latter can reverse the form with a clear round on 4lb better terms. The others are all making their seasonal reappearances with only Ball Hopper showing much last season.
