Verdict

Most of these would be better with a few flights of hurdles in front of them including Jesse Evans, though he won over 1m6f at Navan the last time he ran on the Flat. No Thanks was in very good form on the level at this time last year and is probably warming up for Galway, while Monas Melody won a 1m6f maiden here a year ago and is capable of a big run. Winning bumper and hurdler Advantage Point could probably do with some rain while the lightly-raced National Ballet has changed stables and hasn't run since October. Startedwithakiss wasn't far behind Rosscarbery in a Sligo maiden then completed a double. There appeared to be something amiss in a Listed race at Rosscommon last month so should get into contention though HARRY'S LEGACY is improving fast enough to take this. He was having only his sixth start when scoing over 1m7f at Leopardstown and is at the right end of the handicap
