Verdict

A very poor quality handicap with few arriving in any sort of form though Excelli managed to finish second on the Flat at Navan last time when the ground was very testing. Simiel hasn't shown much since landing a Clonmel maiden over a longer trip last September while Punches Pious, who hasn't been running badly on the level, showed little when tried over timber back in 2014. Winning point-to-pointer LOCH LUATHA has had 19 starts under Rules without winning but such is the nature of this race that he can get off the mark. He wasn't beaten far when fifth here last month and did even better when runner-up to Tintown Robin at Clonmel, form that would be good enough for this.
