Verdict

Coolnagree had a length to spare over Jimtown over the C&D a week ago and though 4lb worse off won with a bit in hand and can confirm the form. Mr Red Clubs started favourite that day but couldn't land a blow though he gained compensation at Dundalk on Friday while Money Spider and Athlumney Lass were well beaten. After a promising start at Down Royal, Backbench Blues landed a maiden in good style at Dundalk and should continue to make progress while Fatcatinthehat ran very well in what looked a strong maiden here last week won by Thomasgainsborough. AMHRASACH finished a close runner-up in two very good maidens before attempting Listed class at the Curragh. She showed good pace until weakening quickly in that mile event and, as this trip and grade looks more to her liking, she can gain her first success.
