Verdict

Passing Trade was scoring for only the second time in 39 starts at Bellewstown on Thurday - her first victory had also come on that track. She has a penalty to carry and may have to give best to the progressive AMBITIOUS APPROACH. Beaten a short-head on his comeback over this track and trip, he went one better when stepped up to 1m2f at Sligo and has only been raised 3lb. David Garrick got off the mark at Cork a couple of weeks ago and the runner-up scored easily over hurdles a few days later. Eddie Harty's charge is 6lb higher but looks certain to give a good account while Eastern Racer gained his ninth career victory at Galway last month then ran well under a penalty there a few days later. Sea The Dawn, a very easy winner on soft ground at Roscommon in June last year, hasn't been seen for a year and has changed stables.
