Verdict
JUDGE'N JURY seems to love this place and he is taken to defy a 3lb rise in the weights for his recent course and distance success. Ron Harris has his horses in fair form and this son of Pivotal has held his form well all season. He was always prominent when winning here last time and from his middle draw he should give supporters a good run for their money. Biniou is progressive and is sure to be suited by the better ground today and a drop back to the minimum trip, whilst a similar comment applies to Buachaill Dona, Fol Hollow and Cheveton. Mandurah is one of a few in the race who have a bit to find with the selection on the July run here but he has a pull in the weights, whilst Jimmy Ryan has been off the track for ages but certainly had plenty of ability when last seen. Trailblazer Captain Dunne cannot be ignored as he is good on his day but his mark has suffered for two good runs earlier in the year and he is taken on with Judge'N Jury.
