Verdict

Above The Law scored over 6f here in May but has struggled from his revised mark including at Naas on Wednesday. PIXIE SPIRIT has won just once in 13 starts but Ana O'Brien has finished close up on him twice in recent weeks and her 4lb claim should help him to another victory. Hi Empress has had a break since runner-up to Jembatt at Tipperary in April when receiving 15lb. There's not much between them taking apprentice claims into consideration but the former has much the more scope. Miller Beach has alternated between Ireland and France and is quite well treated on the best of his form though how he'll handle fast going is an unknown.
