Verdict

Now Children makes his comeback in a competitive race having ended 2016 with a double and changing yards subsequently. But MARATHA (NAP) was beaten only a neck in a tougher contest over track and trip last month and Stuart Williams’ charge can add to his earlier course and distance success with a similar effort in this. Kelly's Dino and Nonios won in this grade on their latest starts and have been raised 3lb and 4lb respectively but Tha'ir is upped in class after scoring at this venue. Coillte Cailin has been getting closer as she slips down the weights and is not out of this either.
