Verdict

Onameridance went up a massive 16lb for a facile victory at Down Royal and finished last in a better race at Killarney next time. She's definitely better than that though her stable also run SATURN FIVE, having just his second start when landing a 1m1f Punchestown maiden from the more experienced subsequent winner Zoffman. The latter will be 5lb better off but the winner looks to have plenty of scope and should do even better over this trip. Forever And Always looks on a tempting mark for her handicap debut while Dark Vega has been staying on very strongly over shorter. Sir Allen ran a fine race over the trip on soft ground at Listowel and is on the same mark and Hymn Book Too didn't get the run of the race at Punchestown so is another to consider.
