Verdict

Procellarum has run in strong maidens but looks a bit high in the weights on what he's achieved. Tar Heel ran poorly on soft ground at Naas so wouldn't want more rain but DACESA stayed on strongly to score over 5f on the latter track and was running on over the same trip in better company at Down Royal. Dress Kode has been pulling too hard but showing good speed and would have an obvious chance if learning to settle. Lunar Space made a promising debut, when in front of Tammany Hall, but has shown little in subsequent starts. Revolutme's third behind Miss Amulet at Cork has been boosted by the winner though she didn't perform as well at Sligo on Friday.
