Unexposed chaser makes plenty of appeal off low weight in Midlands National

Wentwood
2.55 Killarney
3pts win

Wentwood had little room to manoeuvre all the way up the home straight in a premier handicap at Leopardstown last week over 1m2f and could have enough pace to cope with the drop in trip for the mile handicap (2.55) at Killarney.

The four-year-old commenced his campaign with a narrow win in a red-hot handicap at Cork in April off a mark of 82. He is only 1lb higher now and this looks the weakest race he has contested for some time. It is a small field and Andrew Slattery takes off a valuable 5lb.
