Verdict

A chance is taken on ALTERNO, who has won around here and from much higher marks as there was a hint of a return to form at Limerick. Natural Breeze, a winner over the trip at Clonmel in April, has continued to run well from his raised mark and should get into contention again but Willyouwalkwithme ran poorly at Bellewstown after his victory on this track. Deo Bellator showed his first sign of form over timber behind All Class at Sligo while Zambezir has come in for support the last twice and has run better than form figures suggest. Dympnas Well landed a touch at Tramore and was by no means disgraced at Wexford where she didn't quite get the run of the race so she can get into the mix.
