Verdict

Empress Toorah is in the form of her life but a 9lb rise for her last victory at Roscommon looks harsh. Law Major made a successful debut in a Leopardstown maiden that looked better than average. There will be plenty more to come and it will be a surprise if he isn't involved. BREATHE EASY (NAP) has won three times on Turf - all on this track. He followed an excellent second over the course and distance with a slightly disappointing run over 7f but that trip looks too short these days and he can get back to winning ways. Katimavik hasn't had much racing but is progressing well and the assessor may have been lenient in handing him just a 3lb rise for his narrow victory here a couple of weeks ago.
