Another competitive handicap for punters to fathom here but the principals look to be Banjo Hill, Stanmore and Fear Siuil and we will take a chance on Banjo Hill . Banjo Hill was a fair sixth behind Ballycassidy last time out and he still looks to be on a fair mark for this easier race, Stanmore is a course and distance winner that could well but he is best when dominatring in small fields and he may not get the chance here. Fear Siuil could also go well he won well last time out when defeating Dantie Boy and he is still well weighted on his best form of a couple of seasons ago. Of the remainder General Claremont would also have a chance on his best form but he has become disappointing of late so we are happy to side with Banjo Hill
