Itsnotinit is already an eight-year-old but made a winning start in handicaps in comfortable fashion at Limerick, though has gone up 14lb since. ONEKNIGHTMOREIHOPE was possibly given too much to do at Limerick after a nine-length success at Naas. Jack Gilligan is likely to ride the generally-progressive gelding closer to the pace here and he can get back to winning ways ahead of Low Lie The Fields, who has gone up 8lbs for winning at Limerick but remains relatively unexposed. Otzi’s latest third here came over 2m.
