Verdict

MATILDA WITH ME's last three runs point to her chances here. Runner-up to the in-form Pineapple Express at Gowran, with subsequent winner Harbanaker in fourth, she occupied the same spot when just touched off at Tipperary and has surprisingly been dropped 2lb in the ratings. Ellaat had been racing over hurdles before reverting to the Flat at Limerick and just failing to land a touch when headed on the line in a race that has worked out well. He should go close to gaining compensation while Tyriana was staying on strongly over a mile at Gowran behind Praying Mantis and the winner could boost the form in the previous race. Slieve Bearnagh's only Turf victory came on fast ground almost a year ago and he's still 5lb higher.
