    Verdict

    Some disappointing types here but Drogheda Dave showed a bit more potential on his handicap debut at Roscommon. MEDWAY's close third to International Lady over a mile at Dundalk would probably suffice as he was only headed close home and he didn't stay 1m2f next time. Lisabetta makes a quick reappearance after a fair effort over Cork's straight 7f on Wednesday while Molly Grue wasn't too far behind the selection at Dundalk. Esmureyes is interesting with Colin Keane riding for Tony Martin.
