      Verdict

      The Big Lad won a handicap under Nicola Currie here in April and though unsuccessful subsequently he's run some fair races in defeat so should be thereabouts again. Roaring Rory didn't run very well at Beverley last time though had won there in the summer but this is the track for Vroom. Gay Kelleway's charge won over 6f and 7f here last winter and though he's only run once over the minimum he is generally up with the pace from the start so should get into contention. John Feane trained STRATEGIC HEIGHTS to win six races in Ireland and Jamie Osborne took over for his latest run on the sand at Laytown. He's been running well enough all summer without winning but this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways.
