        Verdict

        Kevin Prendergast has won this three times in the past 10 years and there was plenty to take from the debut of Watch The Birdie at Navan last week when she was noted putting in some nice late work behind Emperor Hadrian. ACT OF LOVE appeared totally unfancied when she made her debut at Limerick but no-one told the filly as she ran a superb race to finish a close fourth behind Obrigada, making most of the running until fading close home. Provided she has no reaction she can take this though Dermot Weld's Barry Crockett is an interesting newcomer.
