Verdict

Regally Blonde had The Rebel Breen seven lengths behind when runner-up in a Dundalk maiden and should confirm the form on her handicap debut. Eagles Perch was claimed after finishing third at Ballinrobe and needs to find a bit more but ALICE DIAMOND has been narrowly beaten the last twice from this mark and should have a bit more to offer. The beautifully-bred Flash Of Dawn ran his best race to date in a Tipperary handicap last month and further progress can see him in the frame.
