        Verdict

        Ballycroy Boy can win this at the principal expense of Valhillen and Lady Bower. The selection does not win often but actually ran a fair race despite making a complete harsh of the start. Valhillen has a fair record at Wolverhampton and is here in winning form. It remains to be seen as to whether he can transfer the ability to this track. Lady Bower is best when making the running so it would be no surprise to see her make a bold bid from the gate. Andrasta is ordinary while Her Name Is Rio was weak in the market at Wolverhampton and ran accordingly. Ballycroy Boy is not without his quirks but he should be capable of a bold show in a bad contest.
