Verdict

BROKOPONDO (NAP) has only won one race so far but should put that right here. He only found one too good off this mark at Galway on Monday and is reunited with winning rider Donagh O'Connor. Lightly-raced Cork third Feeltherhythm could be a danger if getting a run from her reserve spot while Sovereign Princess has been getting closer. Mallory Heights almost sprang a surprise at Wexford last month and isn't out of this and Lady Marmelo will have needed her latest run and should do better here.
