In depth

Verdict

A very low-grade handicap. Wishful Thinking makes his handicap debut with a big weight after three moderate runs in maidens. WILLYOUWALKWITHME has done better when stepped up in trip but led for a long way over 2m3f at Downpatrick and may be able to hang on here. Gragara Tara was placed for the first time at Tramore in July but ran poorly on a return visit last month. Ricky Langford may prove best of the remainder with Hugh Morgan's claim a plus.
