In depth

Verdict

Adams Barbour has won twice here and his recent runs on Turf suggest he's ready to regain the winning thread soon. Keepthebestsideout gained her only victory to date here in November and looked on the way back to form at Cork. Dee Sprinter gained his only victory in 27 starts here that same month but is now on his lowest ever mark. The maiden Fool Proof has shown a bit more dash in recent starts but it's about time POET'S PRIDE was winning again and he's only 2lb higher than when scoring here in March.
