Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this could go the way of points scorer JENNYFROMTHEBLOCK who should strip sharper for her Listowel fifth after an absence and is likely to prove suited by this longer distance. Mia In Milan wasn't seen to ideal effect when sixth in a Clonmel handicap last time and could emerge as the main danger, although Poet's Duke has the form to play a big part if back to his best. Akako is likely to build on a recent Clonmel sixth and another to consider.

  1. JENNYFROMTHEBLOCK (IRE)
  2. MIA IN MILAN (IRE)
  3. POET'S DUKE (IRE)
