Verdict

IRISH THISTLE struggled against considerably higher rated rivals than he'll encounter here when falling at Sandown last time out but has been dropped 6lb for that effort and can take advantage of that drop by registering his fifth career success in this competitive event. Bally Lagan has been in good form while contesting weaker races than this of late and can claim second while the first time cheekpieces can see Starkie claim third. 1. Irish Thistle 2. Bally Lagan 3. Starkie
