FormscanBy Michael Graham - NORTH OCEAN could be worth chancing in this tricky optional claimer. He's a well-related sort who was backed ahead of his debut over course and distance in November 2024 where he finished fourth. Obviously, there have been issues as he wasn't seen again until finishing unplaced in an extended 9f maiden in Ballinrobe this month where he didn't appear to stay. He could have something to offer in this grade, though. The Liffey has been enjoying himself in claimers including when winning over C%26D in February, and has to rate a threat. It was just four runs back that Independent Expert won a decent handicap in Naas, while Land Of The Giants is in the hunt for prize money.

For four years old and upwards to be claimed for #15,000 or less (Minimum claiming price #3,000) (also open to horses which are not to be claimed) (horses which are entered not to be claimed must, at entry, have run at least twice and be rated 70 or less)
Weights - 10st 2lbs.
