Verdict

Loved landed a Limerick maiden on fast ground in June and has been beaten in two runs in much better company on soft ground at Galway subsequently. The beautifully-bred NOVA made steady progress during the summer and gained an impressive victory in a Galway maiden. The form hasn't worked out but David Wachman's Galileo colt should have more to offer, starting here. Catchy Lass has won just once in 16 starts on this track but is generally thereabouts while Poitin has done very well since joining Keith Clarke from Harry Dunlop and still looks reasonably treated. First In The Queue is the fly in the ointment as she found trouble in-running here last time after a very good run at Tipperary.
