Verdict

HIGHDOWNHILL went up 10lb for his victory at Sligo in May but followed up over a slightly longer trip there last month and a further 9lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a hat-trick. Garryowen Oscar also won at Sligo last time though that was a maiden and he starts out in handicaps off a high enough mark. Fantastic Gold ran her best race to date on fast ground over today's C&D a couple of weeks ago and is just 2lb higher so she should be in the shake-up but the main threat looks to be in the shape of Second Glance, who has been in fine form on the Flat recently and is well handicapped over timber though some rain would greatly aid her cause.
