Verdict

THEMANINTHEANORAK shaped well when second in a Clonmel maiden earlier in the month and can go one better now stepping back up in trip for his handicap debut. Fool Me Once was better than the result at Limerick last month and is capable of being very competitive from his career-low mark. On Your Way hasn't been seen since a Limerick success in January but would firmly enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong on his return to the track.
