Verdict
Thepartysover is the only one of these with a course and distance victory to his credit but Denis Hogan's grey isn't running well enough to consider despite tumbling down the weights. Hard Bought landed a Clonmel handicap last October and was having only his third subsequent start when runner-up there last month so he can go well though it's another lightly-raced type in BROADWAY TWIST (NAP) who looks the one to be on. She was making her handicap debut when beating Duty Dance at Fairyhouse last week with the remainder well beaten and with further progress likely a quick double looks on the cards. Flemerelle looks a threat after her narrow defeat by Diamond Dame here three weeks ago, her first sign of ability, while the lightly-raced Leave At Dawn caught the eye at Fairyhouse and has more to offer. Fort Carson wasn't far behind Flemerelle last time and that was a distinct improvement on his previous form.
