Racing Post verdict
Third-partyInishtearaght holds a clear rating advantage over a field in which the other five runners are all unrated, giving connections a meaningful edge on paper over this extended two miles at Kilbeggan on good ground. The chief dangers will come from whichever of the unrated rivals arrives with undisclosed current form, and with only a low-confidence reading on this race, the selection's hold on proceedings should not be taken for granted. That said, on the evidence available, Inishtearaght offers the most quantifiable case. **Inishtearaght** is our selection.
