Verdict

Walking In Memphis stayed on well when runner-up over the track and trip last month so it was a surprise to see her back over the minimum in a Clonmel handicap last week where she once again ran on strongly. Further rain would probably aid her cause and she looks the main threat to AMOR VERDADERO, who had no answer to the long odds-on Little Nugget at Limerick a couple of weeks ago but the remainder were a long way behind. Gordon Elliott also runs Ballydunblaze, who is penalised for her Navan bumper victory and weakened quickly over the minimum trip on her hurdling debut at Listowel earlier this month. Holycross Lito, four times a winner between the flags, showed her first sign of promise over timber at Kilbeggan and though needing further has the potential to get into contention. Villa Moura, from a stable in form, looks best of the remainder.
