Verdict

FINDING NERO hasn't been disgraced in his last two defeats and was probably sent for home too soon at Killarney last time out. That run has allowed him to remain on a competitive handicap mark however, and he is the preference for a trainer who is in good form at the moment. Claim The Lady sets the standard based on his victory last time out and while he receives weight-for-age once again, his 7lb is a mild concern, while Suaimhneach can be forgiven for her last run which came too soon and Pillmakers Hill remains dangerously unexposed off a light weight.
