Verdict

4-time course winner MEHMAN did well to get as close as he did when fifth over C&D a fortnight ago and lurking on a dangerous mark, he gets the tentative vote to end a lengthy losing sequence in reapplied blinkers. Rappell arrives on the back of a string of placed efforts, so Paul Flynn's 5-y-o could emerge as the main danger, with Eichan San and Faoladh another couple to consider, as well.
