Connections of Perfect Woman, the only mare in the race, will be hoping she can make her allowance count though punters will need to forgive a poor latest effort at Limerick in March. That may have come too soon after her previous run nine days earlier and her overall form entitles her to the greatest respect. DEFINITE EARL (NAP) produced his best run to date when staying on nicely in a Fairyhouse handicap won by Bog Warrior. That was over two miles but he stays this trip and can go one better. Festive Day has won two recent point-to-points in a canter so could be anything but Mells Theater hasn't made progress and News For Pascal was beaten a long way at Downpatrick last time. Wes Hardin has shown potential in bumpers and looks best of the remainder.
