Verdict

Plenty of these arrive in good form including LEGAL LYRIC, who beat subsequent winner Vasoni over the course and distance last week and is still on the upgrade. He can go in again as Vasoni has a penalty for her victory at Sligo on Tuesday. Silldora dropped back to 5f to gain her first success at Navan last week but she's a progressive filly who should have no problems with the longer trip. Cookie Crumbles ran a tremendous race here last week behind Penny Serenade and looks a big threat as there are few more consistent performers at this level.
