A very low grade handicap in which few arrive in any kind of form. Noel Kelly looks to have a strong hand with ISHARAH and Bracka Lily. The former, four times a winner on the all-weather, wasn't beaten far in a slightly better race at Fairyhouse last time so gets the nod though the latter ran easily her best race to date when just touched off here in December, though that was over the minimum trip. Honest Robber is one of just two course winners in the line-up and he's been chasing. He's at an age where he wouldn't be expected to win races but this is such a poor contest that he can get involved. Tyrone Tiger is the other track winner though it's a long time since he showed any form but Midland Millie is making her handicap debut and has one of the more experienced riders in the saddle.
