Verdict

Petticoat Rule came in for strong support at Cork on Wednesday and duly obliged, conceding runner-up Silk Cravat 12lb in the process though her trainer stated that a visor and fast ground conditions were the reason for her improved form. Ohio State is a rare runner in a low-grade handicap for Ballydoyle and has dropped 5lb from his latest run when not performing badly. Golden Days is lightly-raced and has shown that there is a race for her from this sort of mark while Take My Hand took advantage of heavy going to score over a mile at Bellewstown and is only 1lb higher. EARLS made all over an extended 5f at Sligo and is up 7lb though he has form over this trip and should take some catching.
