Verdict
BELTANE is some time without a win but seems to have landed on a good opportunity here and Mark Walford's six-year-old is taken to build on his good recent effort at Nottingham. Irish raider Circles shaped as if still in good form when getting a luckless run at Roscommon last time and can pose the biggest threat, with On The Bubble taken to complete the 1-2-3.

VerdictCourse winner. Twenty four runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 5/2) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should go close to ending that long losing run here.

VerdictOne of better effots when third of 6 in handicap (25/1) at Musselburgh (9f, good) 19 days ago. Place claims again if able to replicate that in another thin affair. - 3. CirclesJ: C. HorganT: Anthony McCann, IrelandF: 37478160

VerdictLatest win at Dundalk in March. Better than result when tenth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (7.5f, good, 50/1) 9 days ago, repeatedly meeting trouble from 2f out. Merits consideration.

VerdictLanded a hat-trick last summer (first leg coming here) but form tailed off towards the end of the season and not much encouragement could be taken from his return here earlier in the month. Bit to prove back at 1m.- Unnamed Favourite

VerdictUnreliable sort. Runner-up here in the autumn but again went without much fluency when last in C&D handicap earlier this month. Cheekpieces back on but others preferred.
