Verdict

Full Moon Magic arrives here with a 6lb penalty for last week's victory over slightly shorter here but looked good value for the extra and looks certain to go well. Tara Dylan finished runner-up to the in-form Princess Zoe at the Curragh before a fair run over hurdles at Galway while SWEET AFFECTION, who had shown ability at Dundalk over the winter, came with a strong burst to almost catch Wilderness over 1m4f here last month and can go one better. Harvey Specter wasn't winning out of turn at Killarney but did so in really good style and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. See The Eagle Fly will be winning soon from this sort of mark judged on her last two efforts here and at Killarney and she may be able to turn the tables on Final Endeavour, who finished just in front of her here last week.
