    Verdict

    LIMINI won her last three races on the Flat in France and her first three over hurdles for Willie Mullins, including the new mares' race at Cheltenham. She took on males in a Grade 1 at Aintree but couldn't quite cope though it was certainly no disgrace and, back amongst those of her own sex, can get back on track. Jennies Jewel ran a brilliant race when runner-up to One Track Mind in the Champion Stayers' here on Thursday though she's taking a massive drop in trip. The four-year-old Slowmotion looked potentially top class when easily landing a Fairyhouse Grade 2 last month and the allowance will help and while Aurore D'estruval hasn't been running well over further she should be suited by the drop in trip. Rock On The Moor was a 66/1 chance for the David Nicholson at Cheltenham but belied her odds with a superb run behind Vroum Vroum Mag with Legacy Gold, Pass The Time and her stable companion Keppels Queen behind. But the latter didn't get the run of the race and should finish much closer this time.
