Verdict

Filon D'oudairies has won around here and is well handicapped taking his rider's claim into account. Look Dont Touch is 0-22 but was narrowly beaten on a couple of occasions this summer and his stable also run Peckham Springs. The latter was beaten seven lengths by Itsalonglongroad at Tramore three weeks ago but can get closer on 6lb better terms. Fassbender, who is 2-33 over timber, makes his chasing debut while Pepperocco ran poorly when favourite at Sligo after a very good second at Wexford. NAME ME FAMOUS overcame jumping errors to score at Clonmel but couldn't manage a repeat at Wexford where he fell when just getting into contention. He's probably still on a fair mark and can get back to winning ways. Winning hunter and point-to-pointer Dundaniel looks a bit high in the weights for his handicap debut.
