Verdict
Schone Aussicht made all in impressive fashion at Limerick and Mike O'Connor, who has a cracking record around here, has been booked to use his 7lb claim. Imperial Sachin's scrambled home in a Kilbeggan maiden though was conceding the runner-up 10lb but neither Copia Verborum nor Bronze Bull have reached a place over timber. CLONBURY BRIDGE is an experienced performer who lost his maiden tag in a Limerick handicap where he battled on strongly. He looks the one to beat under regular rider Luke Dempsey.
