Verdict

Shona Mea has won twice around here but is 11lb higher than her last victory. SILENT PERFORMANCE gave notice of an imminent victory when a close second at Leopardstown and duly obliged at Down Royal. She's only gone up 3lb and has the experienced Joey Sheridan doing the steering. Ballinlough Gale finally got off the mark with a comfortable victory in a maiden here and still looks very well treated while the maiden Jo March came from a long way back to finish a close fourth at Naas. Loingseoir is dropping back to a more manageable mark after completing a double in the spring.
