      Verdict

      Forge Valley Lad has shown good progress since switching to David Simcock’s yard and won over track and trip a fortnight ago. He’s preferred to Tralee Hills, who placed again here last time. PARTY ISLAND (NAP) has a good strike-rate on the all-weather and having finished runner-up in a higher grade contest over track and trip recently so Denis Coakley’s charge is taken to come out best. Novice winner Lady Percival is the least exposed having raced just the once last year, though steps up in trip.
