Yielding to Soft CHANGED to yielding after 3rd race View all races

Formscan By Gary Carson - BIG BABY BULL looks the pick at the weights here and may be able to give young Kyle McHugh his first winner. The Tagula gelding won a similar contest at Tipperary on his penultimate outing and ran well back in handicap company when third at Gowran last time. Any drying of the ground will help as his best form is on a decent surface. Tai Sing Yeh is a consistent performer and looks an obvious danger. He ran well in handicap company when chasing home Master Matt at Fairyhouse last time having been third behind the selection in that Tipperary claimer previously. Is That Love is another who can be given a shout off his rating. He had some decent runs at Dundalk over the winter and makes his first start since early January.
