Verdict

Muzak won the opener comfortably here on Friday and this doesn't look much tougher. If turning out again he has to be of interest and should have no problems with Charleville, who was fifth. Enter The Indian was entered in the 5.00 on the Flat here yesterday with a fair chance and has been in good form over timber so he's another to keep an eye on. TWO IN A ROW was having only his second handicap start when scooting away at Ballinrobe, however, and though raised 12lb his young rider can use his claim and a follow up looks likely. Alf Wright ran well behind First Impressions at Limerick and the winning point-to-pointer can improve again while Oscar Hill is 20lb better off over hurdles than fences and is better than he showed at Kilbeggan last time. El Toreros represents Dermot Weld and, though still a maiden, he's been slowly dropping in the weights and is now on a very fair mark.
