Verdict

Authorative has changed stables since landing a poor handicap at Clonmel in September while Balkinstown hasn't shown a spark of ability in four starts on the level. Moss Street was beaten 21l by NOBLE INN at Ballinrobe in September and the winner, who has a penalty to carry, is given the nod over stablemate Analifet, also penalised for her victory at Compiegne in May.
