Verdict
Sevenna Star was brought down at the first at Killarney on Monday and makes a quick reappearance. Winning bumper JULIES STOWAWAY has become expensive to follow but her last two starts have been over 3m in very tough handicaps. She wasn't beaten far in maidens earlier and this could be her day. Winning point-to-pointer Clondaw Bertie will have found 2m too short at Fairyhouse where she fell two out while Fissa ran in two bumpers after falling at Limerick but disappointed on heavy ground at Down Royal. Aldo The Apache has come to grief in both starts over 2m on the latter track though has been staying on and the longer trip will suit but God Help Us ran poorly over 2m3f at Limerick after placed efforts on this track.
