Verdict
GRANNY BIDDY (NAP) has been making steady progress and reappeared with her best run to date when just beaten in a three-way photo at Ballinrobe. This is certainly no tougher and she can get off the mark. Brooklynn has been beaten a long way on this track in maidens despite running into a place but the four-year-old Ashjan didn't run badly on his handicap debut here earlier in the month. Mischief Maisy and Station Closed represent Gordon Elliott but neither has done enough to merit support, even at this very lowly level.
