Verdict
Market's Field has only had one run over fences, scoring at Wexford in July 2017. He looked on the way back to form at Limerick last month and is quite well treated. PEACOCKS SECRET gained narrow victories at Wexford and Naas and was in touch when falling at Clonmel. The handicapper may not have hold of him yet so another big run is expected. Oscar Lantern is 1-20 over fences though ran his best race for a while at Limerick while Well Tom would have a chance on his second to Punches Cross at Naas and a bad mistake stopped him in his tracks here last time.
