Verdict

Hilary had HOPPSAN close up in third at Bellewstown but the positions can be reversed at the revised terms, especially as the latter gained her only success on this track. Merry Mast makes a quick reappearance after Thursday's close second at Laytown but is better handicapped on Turf while Anner Queen is still a maiden though she can't get much lower in the ratings and showed a bit of dash at Killarney last time. Corker Hill is another maiden but looks certain to be winning soon judged on her run at Bellewstown where she had Art Scene just behind and the latter is one to note as that was only her second start since November.
