Verdict

BREENAINTHEMYCRA is improving out of all recognition and is now 28lb higher than when his winning run began. He overcame a poor draw and a 9lb rise to score at Roscommon and though up another 10lb is taken to complete a four-timer. Dancing Noretta was clearly suited by plenty of give in the ground at Killarney where she stayed on very strongly but a 9lb rise against older opposition may prevent a double. One Cool Poet ran well in a three-year-old handicap here on Monday though he was beaten over seven lengths and Cristy's Call ran a shocker on his latest start over hurdles.
