Verdict
Luke McAteer was on board when MOTHER VINCENT won an apprentice race at Naas on Sunday and keeps the ride. That was a massive improvement on her earlier run behind We'll Go Again at Gowran and now she's struck form and escapes a penalty she can go in again and reverse form with the winner. Jim Bolger also runs Vocatus, who has yet to win but found 6f too short here last time after two seconds at around this trip. Blacklooks makes a quick reappearance after beating Ecoeye, who runs earlier, at Limerick and he's only 4lb higher but Passing Trade continues to frustrate and she's now 1-29.
