In depth

Verdict

Lady De Vesci won a Dundalk claimer in November, her fourth victory on the track, but she's yet to open her account on Turf. No Trouble also won on the same track in February but has yet to reach a place in five starts on Turf. Ellaat shot up the ratings after landing a Ballinrobe handicap last summer and has been unable to cope but Karl Thornton is in cracking form so Guido Reni should make a bold bid. A winning hurdler, he's yet to score on the Flat but gave notice of an imminent victory when a close third at Fairyhouse. However, this could prove too short and HIDDEN SPARK, who has been running on over shorter, should be ideally suited by the trip so gets the nod.
