Verdict

It's hard to look beyond THE LIFFEY, who is bidding for the hat-trick following back-to-back victories in claimers here last month and he would meet all these rivals on significantly worse terms if this were a handicap. Dontspoilasale and Una Matata can fill the places.

3	Failed to make a significant impact in handicaps here on first 3 runs for this yard but has won claimers over 6f/1m the last twice. Return to this trip may prove ideal and should complete the hat-trick. 1st Pick 3 The Liffey (Ire) Jockey: Reese Holohan Trainer: Denis Hogan, Ireland J: Reese Holohan T: Denis Hogan, Ireland	100	-	-	-	63%

7	Regained the winning thread when recording third success here in January, benefiting from a well-judged ride from the front. However, he's not the most consistent overall and has come up short all 4 subsequent starts. 2nd Pick 7 Dontspoilasale (Ire) Jockey: Jack Cleary Trainer: Denis Hogan, Ireland J: Jack Cleary T: Denis Hogan, Ireland	98	-	-	-	10%
