Verdict
HARETH is always well supported and likely to be so again. Charles Byrnes' charge won a Limerick handicap in April and looked to be travelling well when falling two out at Roscommon last time so can make amends. William B transferred to Gordon Elliott in June and has won both starts for the yard, though a 9lb rise for a hard-fought victory at Bellewstown looks harsh. The four-year-old Immortal Bridge ran on very strongly to land a Killarney handicap and it's upwards and onwards for Joseph O'Brien's youngster while any further rain would aid the cause of the veteran Seskinane, who is best on testing ground and looks well treated.
