Verdict

Cnoc Seoda gained her only victory on very heavy ground between the flags at Dromahane and was beaten at odds-on in a Downpatrick bumper in May. Dancing Bird is making good progress and didn't mind the fast ground when runner-up to the useful Apt Manor at Tramore. Roger Quinlan is sure to give her a good ride but MEITHEAMH, under the equally competent Pauline Ryan, may have the edge. Jessica Harrington's mare reverts to bumpers after an excellent second in a hot maiden hurdle at Navan won by Oneeighthofamile when she had Drumfire in third and First Lieutenant, who runs earlier, back in fourth. Dual points winner Our Victoria looks capable of better and Princess Gaia showed enough promise on her debut at Down Royal in May to suggest she is one to keep an eye on.
