Verdict
Joseph O’Brien holds a strong hand with Happywifehappylife and Truce. The former looked like winning at Killarney but had no answer when Minister For Magic went past when her stablemate, who started favourite, weakened quickly. Essential Part stayed on nicely over 1m1f at Tipperary so the longer trip will suit but FLORA was a bit unlucky in-running when a close third at the Curragh on Thursday and gets a quick chance to make amends. Easily led for a long way over slightly further at the same meeting and isn’t out of this.
