Verdict

Princess Vega was an easy maiden winner in May 2019 but didn't reappear until October when beaten a long way on the Flat. Rebel Early won this a year ago and though 9lb higher would have a chance on her close second at Cork in November. Fairyhill Run had dropped to a reasonable mark on the latter track but has gone back up 2lb for finishing second while STREET VALUE is up 11lb for an impressive victory at Clonmel where he was well supported. Pairc Na Ngael was also well backed when runner-up at Limerick for which he's gone up 4lb while Lessofdnegativity is up 6lb for a battling victory at Tramore.
