Verdict
Ballroom appeared to find a mile too far at Navan last time though she had looked one-paced over this trip earlier. Advenio made a fair debut at Tipperary and will undoubtedly improve but Brown Butterfly is dropping massively in trip having run over 1m4f last time. Katherine Lee has twice performed with credit over a mile and connections believe the shorter trip will be ideal but this should go to HADRIAN'S WALTZ, who led for most of the way over 1m1f on her return at Wexford before succumbing to Music Pearl in the closing stages.
