Verdict
A low-grade handicap but Camlann arrives in good heart having followed last month's victory at Fairyhouse with a very good run over hurdles here on Monday. TARA DYLAN (NAP) stepped up to 1m6f at Leopardstown last week and gained a very convincing victory. She's been raised 11lb but arrives here with a 5lb penalty so will be difficult to beat. It's almost a year since Greanta won but she's been running consistently and is 1lb lower. Byron Beauty is also consistent though is still a maiden after 25 starts while Ondamoura has never won on Turf and was behind the selection at Leopardstown. Mischief Maisy has joined Gordon Elliott after landing a handicap on Polytrack at Lingfield earlier this month. Athenry Boy wasn't at his best last time but has bits of form that would put him in the frame and Kevin Manning takes the ride.
