Verdict
Roxyfet has had a good season, winning four times over fences and once over hurdles. But he may be in the handicapper's grip now while Trust Thomas is a weak finisher. Have You Had Yours won over course and distance two years ago but has plenty to prove having been pulled up on his reappearance at Kelso. CAPTAIN HOX has only won once over fences and is still a novice. He's been taking on better opposition including when third at Ballinrobe on Friday and if connections allow him to run here he looks the one to beat today with Shane Shortall good value for his 5lb claim as Claragh Native remains out of sorts.
