Verdict

Magwadiri showed his first real sign of ability when runner-up here last month and wouldn't need much more to get involved from 3lb higher. Goodnite Irina made a promising handicap debut when staying on over 6f at Fairyhouse so has to be of interest but this can go to EMPRESS LYLA (NAP). Sheila Lavery's filly attracted support at Fairyhouse ,despite a long absence, and her supporters were rewarded when she stayed on strongly to win over the trip. She's up 6lb but there's more to come and a double looks on the cards. Keep Believing went up 9lb after completing a double over a mile here in April and found the extra plus very fast ground against him at Cork. Nothing To Lose was raised a massive 14lb for winning at Fairyhouse but he very nearly overcame the burden at Naas and is progressing fast enough to get into contention.
