Verdict

Cache Queen has won around here and also scored over the trip. She was nowhere near her best at Dundalk last time and is respected, despite her big weight. Joey Sheridan steered Shumaker to victory over 1m5f at Ballinrobe on Monday where he was always travelling strongly and was in the lead at this trip. However, he's been raised 12lb and this is much tougher. Noble Intention led 1f out and stayed on strongly to land an apprentice race at Navan where he had the staying-on Amlad just under a length away in second, Misty Millie close-up third and DRUMMER just two lengths away in fourth. The latter was travelling well when sent on 2f out and, with more restraining tactics, can reverse the form with those in front of him.
