Going - Good to yielding, Good in places. Fine
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Tom Weekes - ISLAND VILLA is no star but competes from a favourable rating and comes here following a good fourth placing at Clonmel on Thursday. He is rated 13lbs higher over fences and is well capable of winning a handicap of this nature. L'attesa hadn't shown much until this year and comes here having run well on each of his last three starts. He races from the basement rating and should be able to win a handicap from this mark. Poznan Pilot is absent since last October but did run well on his last start on fast ground at Thurles and can also figure from his low rating. Blackwater Bridge has yet to show worthwhile form and while the booking of Davy Russell is notable, he looks best watched on his first run since December.%0A
