Verdict

Jim Bolger is striking while the iron is hot with DUAISEOIR, who justified strong support to score over a mile at Gowran on Thursday. Having gained his only previous success over 1m3f at Dundalk tonight's trip shouldn't be a problem while a 5lbs penalty is more than fair. Dancera was well beaten in a Grade 3 hurdle at Punchestown last month but stays this trip well and will take advantage of any stamina limitations by the selection. The last four of Chapter Nine's starts have been at Dundalk and though he's ran well enough he appears too high in the ratings on what he has achieved. Crusoe's Return did well to finish a close third to Time Travel at Dundalk last month and is on a fair enough mark these days.
