Verdict
Jim Bolger likes to bring horses out quickly after a good run so it's no surprise to see LEVEL PITCH running here with a penalty after scoring with a bit in hand at Naas on Wednesday. He can go in again though Dunum looks certain to make a bold bid for a hat-trick after his victories at Gowran though he's up 8lb for that last success. Corky's yard can do no wrong at present and she ran a cracking race on her handicap debut over 1m2f at Down Royal on Saturday when only headed in the closing stages so she looks a major threat. Morning Approach gave notice of an imminent victory when beaten a neck in a huge field here then ran on strongly to lead close home at Leopardstown last week so has to be respected.
