Verdict

Product Of Love, a winning point-to-pointer, steps up to a more suitable trip after beating subsequent winner Knockmaole Boy at Ballinrobe. The runner-up is trained by Gordon Elliott, who has DORANS RIVER engaged here. He had Robin Des Foret over 3l behind over this course and distance last month and should confirm the form on 4lb worse terms. Cook Islands was close behind in that latter event and has plenty of scope for improvement while Oakly has won over the track and trip. Clara Sorrento scored over the trip at Punchestown and looks a nice prospect but it took Venezia 19 attempts to get off the mark over timber at Gowran. None of the remainder can be dismissed in a very interesting contest.
