Verdict

This is no better than the first division with veteran Yes Man raised 5lb for a surprise win at Sligo. Balinaboola showed a bit more last time at Gowran while Freedom Square has been placed in two of his last three starts so enters calculations, though was pulled up at Tramore last month in a race in which Magnetic Force finished third. However, the latter will need a few to drop out to get a run here. RATHNALEEN GIRL ran a strange race when second at Clonmel last time but still finished ahead of Freedom Square. She could go one better if plotting a more conventional course today.
