Verdict

Point The Toes is 2lb lower than when only finding one too good in this last year. Mark Fahey's mare has every chance of going one better but does have to give 7lb to FEEL THE AIR. From the same stable as last year's winner, the five-year-old has been in good form over course and distance this year and was possibly a bit unlucky not to justify favouritism last time in a similar race to this. EllIe Mia was beaten when falling at the last at Limerick but that was a decent contest and she should do better here. Supreme Vic was second at Ballinrobe last month but is now 4lb higher.
