Verdict

We'll Go Again has changed stables since completing a double on testing ground last October and is steadily dropping to a winnable mark. Jungle Jungle took 16 runs to get off the mark but a 7lb rise for his Gowran victory is unlikely to prevent another big run. DRUMMER is 0-15 but has been running well enough over slightly further to suggest he can get off the mark now dropped in the weights and with Joey Sheridan's claim to aid his cause. Loughanlea Lass is a 10-race maiden who hasn't proved herself on this sort of ground while Stellify was a 100/1 chance when beaten 8 lengths into second in a Leopardstown claimer.
