Verdict

Warlike Intent was engaged to run in the 5.10 at Bellewstown yesterday so that result should be monitored. Weihnachts reappeared after a break to run well at Roscommon and has to be respected in this moderate contest while Zalika wouldn't need to improve much from her run at Sligo to take a hand. MAKE THE SWITCH showed some potential on the level for Dermot Weld and wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a successful start over timber for new connections as Indian Admiral has disappointed since beaten a head in a big field on his hurdling debut here in May. White Desert scored twice for Godolphin in the UK but finished last on his debut for new connections in May.
