Matilda With Me gained reward for consistently when scoring on testing ground at Tipperary and a 4lb rise looks manageable but DRACO PULCHRAC went close to losing her maiden tag at the same fixture and, though 2lb higher, has enough improvement in her to go one better. Estepona Sun is still looking high enough in the weights while Evening Verse, though an easy winner at Dundalk last month, is 15lb higher back on Turf. Boom Boom Boom has never won but has slipped to a fair mark while Pepsiwithacap was in good form when last seen at Dundalk in December
