Verdict

Last year's winner GOODIE TWO SHOES shaped much better than the bare result on her recent Limerick return (ended up on the worst of the ground) and is likely to be much closer to form here, Joseph O'Brien's mare is expected to be a tough nut to crack. Perfect Your Craft has made a solid start for Paddy Twomey, so she looks the biggest threat, with Bloom completing the shortlist sporting first-time cheekpieces.
