Verdict

ASIGH PEARL was having her first start since January when runner-up to Rock County at Galway and Noel Meade's mare, placed in Listed company last season, can show the benefit of that run and take this. Day Of Destiny looked very promising last season and a recent run on the Flat will have put him straight while the four-year-old Doctor Deejay will be better for his run behind Sword Fish at Listowel in September, his first since an excellent second to Gimli's Rock at Punchestown in April. Vivaldi is probably better over further while Montan has shown his best form on ground with plenty of give.
