Verdict

TROPICAL TWIST was much improved when winning at Wexford on Friday and looks capable of following up under a penalty. Gortmore Lady took a step back in the right direction over C&D last time and rates the chief danger, while Pralognan has an absence to overcome but is a previous course scorer and is respected with the Tony Martin yard back among the winners.
