Verdict
SLANEY TIDE (NAP) made plenty of the running before caught on the line at Tipperary. She could have done without going up 4lb but this looks a good opportunity. Not Even Maybe was four lengths behind and did the form no harm with a very good second on this track a week ago. Glyde Ranger has never won and his recent good effort was at Dundalk while Upepo looked as though he needed further on his reappearance at Sligo. Where R U Now Bob has run poorly since scoring at Dundalk in January.
