Verdict
ILBDARE took a step back in the right direction when third at Tramore last time out and can now capitalise on a handy-looking mark to gain his breakthrough success. In-form Betty Dutton is on a losing run but feared most, although the likes of Roxboro River, Lets Do This, Love Bite, The Miracle Man and Eddies Pride can all have a say too in this very open handicap.
