Verdict

Sacchoandvanzetti won twice in Ireland when trained by John Queally and new connections will no doubt place him to good effect in this country. Calum Gilhooley has a lengthy absence to overcome but the hat-trick seekers Hiconic and Our Scholar demand respect despite rising marks. ALLBETSOFF, a winner here last month, didn’t appear to enjoy going right-handed when favourite at Market Rasen subsequently. He is still on a fair mark if putting that effort behind him.
