Verdict

Late Day Sun will have needed her comeback run at Dundalk and can do better as can Minsk, who found 1m2f on the short side at Roscommon. Printmaker made a winning handicap debut when beating Red Shaheen at Dundalk and will be an obvious threat if transferring that form to turf while Quaintly has only been raised 2lb for scoring over the trip at Wexford and the handicapper may have been lenient. BAT MASTERSON made a promising comeback at Navan in April and looked to be progressing nicely when gaining his first success at Roscommon. There should be more to come from Noel Meade's charge who can follow-up despite an 11lb rise in the weights.
