Plenty can be given a chance in this. Daisy's Hollow has been raised 5lb after scoring at Tipperary but Clonguile Way can race off a lower mark back over timber having landed a chase at Punchestown. Both Blue Markie and Esthers Marvel placed off similar marks last time and Courtin Bb is another to consider on a recent second at Tramore. But CADDY SHACK just failed to catch the winner over too short a trip at the same Tramore fixture and another bold bid is expected today given he won last year’s renewal.
