Verdict

HOLLYMOUNT won a maiden at Ballinrobe last month and that looks the strongest form on offer. She may well defy a penalty and is preferred to another Irish mare in Mourne Lass, who failed to threaten here last time and is fitted with cheekpieces. Oot Ma Way looks a bigger danger back at this level having finished runner-up at Doncaster in March while bumper third Martalindy has undergone wind surgery and debuts over hurdles.
