Verdict
Jessica Harrington has two entries and Shane Foley picks IT'S SNOWING over Princess Rajj. The former landed a Dundalk maiden and may have found the ground too fast when beaten into third at Fairyhouse. Admiral D won on soft going at Listowel and has Jake Coen's 10lb claim in his favour so, if the rains arrive, he would have to be a major contender. Messa Concertata has been going well over 5f and the extra should suit while Pulse Of Poppy didn't quite last out 7f at Dundalk and this is probably her trip.
