Verdict

COOLNACRITTA, a winner at Hexham and beaten a short-head at Uttoxeter in June, couldn't quite concede a stone to Profound at Limerick but the winner has scored again and Mark Fahey's recruit can go one better. Paddy Wickla beat the consistent Pretty Little Liar at Clonmel but is 5lb higher. He was earlier beaten two lengths by Roisins Ciara but will have found two miles too short and can reverse form with the winner. Esthers Marvel is 0-21 over timber but has been placed eight times while Impressive Duke, unbeaten in two starts over fences, is 0-11 over hurdles though any money for him will be worth noting.
