Verdict

THEMANINTHEANORAK shaped well when second in a Clonmel maiden earlier in the month and can go one better now stepping back up in trip for his handicap debut. Fool Me Once was better than the result at Limerick last month and is capable of being very competitive from his career-low mark. On Your Way hasn't been seen since a Limerick success in January but would firmly enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong on his return to the track.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.

Synthetic Surface

A racing surface comprised of silica sand and fibers, such as recycled carpet or spandex. The mixture is then sealed with wax.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
