In depth

Verdict

Eimear had been in decent form before a poor run at Kilbeggan after which she changed stables. She was only half-a-length behind Ocean Glandore on the same track earlier and will be 4lb better off so there should be little between them. Tiger Twenty Two went up 16lb for an impressive victory at Gowran and though well beaten at Clonmel later she didn't appreciate the sticky ground. Ballybrowney Walk hasn't been running well over fences so the lightly-raced HELLO PILGRIM looks the one to beat. She landed a Sligo maiden before a very good third in a Downpatrick handicap and can race from the same mark.
