Verdict

CALM BAY was having his 101st start when scoring at Navan a fortnight ago and though 5lb higher he's won off higher mark in the past including around here and can complete a double. Catwilldo was beaten just over two lengths that day and though 6lb better off looks held but Adrian Keatley tries the lightly-raced Patience A Plenty in first-time blinkers and drops her from 7f to the minimum trip for the first time. Midst has been very disappointing so far this campaign and her best run to date came on heavy ground. Kiss The Stars has a very poor strike-rate but still finds herself at the head of the weights in this moderate handicap.
