In depth

Verdict

Bianca Minola defied 6lb extra to beat the strongly-fancied Curley Bill at Roscommon last week and though she's up another 9lb she'll take some beating. Scealai Aonair has been going well on heavy ground and was impressive at Clonmel earlier this month so, if taking to these conditions, has to be respected despite an 8lb rise. MINNIE DAHILL returned from a spell hurdling to run a fine race at Roscommon, leading in the straight until collared close home. An opening mark of 58 looks workable and, though 4lb out of the handicap, can gain her first victory on the level. Ringside Humour wins her share and though it's a very long time since she last won she's well treated if anywhere near her best.
