Verdict

JERANDME is 12 now but still looks capable on his day and may prove able to take advantage if the pair that are the pick at the weights, Rocky's Howya and Lightkeeper, take each other on for the lead as looks likely.

3	Versatile sort that has won over fences and hurdles and also on the Flat on both turf and all-weather. Placed twice before flopping when last seen in December and not ruled out if bouncing back on return from 146 days off. 1st Pick 3 Jerandme (Ire) Jockey: K. E.

6	Trailblazer who has won 3 times from last 4 outings. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Wexford (3m, soft) when last seen 34 days ago but now tries blinkers and will no doubt attempt to dominate back down in trip. Good chance at the weights but not sure to have things all his own way. 2nd Pick 6 Rocky's Howya (Ire) Jockey: Kevin Healy Trainer: Declan Queally, Ireland J: Kevin Healy T: Declan Queally, Ireland	100	-	-	-	34%

5	Fairly useful chaser who won at Perth in September. Off 7 months and switched back to hurdles on favourable terms here, but likes to lead and will have competition on that score. 3rd Pick 5 Lightkeeper (Ire) Jockey: J. H.

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Fast

A dry dirt track that is typically an ideal racing surface.
