In depth

Verdict

Headford View was poorly handicapped when finishing last of 15 behind ELUSIVE RIDGE over the C&D last week and wears blinkers for the first time. She's much better off at the weights here so don't be surprised by a big run. Both Tell The Wind and Napa Starr were also behind Elusive Ridge last week and on these terms their chances of reversing the form with the impressive winner are remote but Jamesie is a different matter. David Marnane's charge has been running in good class sprints this year but he scored over today's trip at Bellewstown last August and should make a race of it with the selection.
