Verdict

Last month’s course winner Dorkas was due to turn out here yesterday. This has a very open look about it but Tony Martin’s Our Rachael catches the eye off a low weight. She’s still a maiden over hurdles but made late gains at Down Royal last month and has won twice on the Flat. Turanga Lilly and Flamingo's Court both won last time and Biddy The Boss has shown some improvement lately. Cailean's Angel and the four-year-old Minnie Dahill also have a chance but VICTORIA BAY didn’t do much wrong at Cork after getting off the mark at Fairyhouse so Colin Bowe’s mare gets the nod.
