In depth

Verdict

Bellepower is running well but is 5lb out of the handicap and this looks tough. King's Vow, a winner at Dundalk in November, has run well behind a couple of unexposed Ballydoyle winners in the past couple of weeks and should get into contention while Kastasa stayed on strongly to land a Clonmel maiden over 1m1f and will be suited by the longer trip. Whitsunday Islands was conceding LAURA BULLION 1lb when beaten less than a length at Dundalk so there should be nothing between them again on these terms. We know the pair of them stay the trip and it's Noel Meade's filly who just gets the vote.
