Verdict

Those in the top half of the handicap should dominate this ladies race. Bobby Jean hasn’t raced since May and needs soft going but Teqany showed his well-being when landing a maiden hurdle at Tramore 10 days ago. Universal Focus has been running well off this sort of mark since winning at Dundalk in April but Miro wasn’t far behind last time at Tipperary and is a pound better off with Lisa O’Neill again in the saddle. DRAGON GIRL is taken to follow up her victory in a Sligo claimer as the penny finally seems to have dropped with the filly.
