Verdict

Futurum Regem easily won a 2m6f Navan handicap last month but was engaged in the 1.10 back there yesterday. Mighty Tom was racing in better handicaps than this in the spring but could find the ground a bit lively on his reappearance while it's a very long time since Andratx completed a four-timer. Ferdia won two of his first three races and has competed at a higher level than this but MIND YOUR MONEY looks on a really handy mark for her handicap debut. Henry De Bromhead's mare won a Tramore bumper in April and was returning from three months off when a very good fourth in a Fairyhouse maiden. Magnor Glory absolutely hacked up when well supported at Wexford but went up 14lb and was well beaten on heavy ground at Tipperary. Instant Return looked a nice prospect two years ago but has a long absence to overcome.
