Verdict

Mise Raftaire has been well supported the last twice, the latest on Saturday at Gowran when errors at the last two didn't aid his cause. He should be thereabouts in this moderate handicap though MRS WATSON (NAP) looked one to follow when seeing off the long odds-on Full Noise at Clonmel in January and can defy an 8lb rise. I Don't Get It has the form to win this but a strike-rate of 0-34 hardly inspires confidence and though Happy Dancing ran much better on his latest start at Limerick he pulled up behind the selection at Clonmel. The veteran course and distance winner Zagnzig is one to note if getting a run from his reserve spot.
