These low-grade handicaps are always difficult to sum up and the market is often a good guide, as it was a year ago. Gold Falcon is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and has to be considered on his return to the track though he was behind THE BLACK DEVIL at Leopardstown last time. The latter has yet to win here but has produced some decent performances and Colin Keane's claim can see him home. Doc Holliday was having just his fifth start when staying on strongly over 7f at Galway and should improve enough to give a good account while Enigma Code has won four times here and looked on the way back to form at Naas.
