Verdict

AT THE WINGS has been thriving of late and is fancied to defy another rise in the weights and complete his hat-trick, with the longer trip expected to suit. Dalmatic won over C&D last December and, with a recent run now under his belt, he can prove the main danger, with Western Opera and Friar Hogan also respected.

10	Capitalised on reduced mark when winning 15-runner 19f handicap at Navan in September and then followed up in 2½m event at Gowran 15 days ago. Up another 6 lb and hood goes back on now bidding for a hat-trick, with the longer trip likely to suit.

3	Finally off the mark in C&D handicap last season and was presumably having a pipe-opener when returning at Roscommon over an inadequate trip last month. Will be suited by the return to this longer trip and this venue. One to consider. 2nd Pick 3 Dalmatic (Ire) Jockey: P. Byrnes Trainer: William O'doherty, Ireland J: P.

17	Respectable efforts on 3 of her last 4 starts, 6½ lengths fourth of 14 to Fire Coral in mares handicap at Listowel on latest. Will continue to give a good account. 3rd Pick 17 Western Opera (Ire) Jockey: D. King Trainer: Kieran Callaghan, Ireland J: D. King T: Kieran Callaghan, Ireland	100	-	-	-	14%	13/2
