In depth

Verdict

Banntown Girl was returning from a very long break when runner-up at Wexford though was beaten 14 lengths. Miracle Millions started favourite for his debut at Ballinrobe but ran in snatches and should be better for the experience. THE GOSSIPER is penalised for a victory at Wexford in March and things haven't gone his way in subsequent starts so he can return to winning ways despite having to concede 14lb to winning point-to-pointer Cream Sparkles, though the latter looks as though she needs further.
