Verdict

Pink In The Park is penalised for winning twice and seems unlikely to concede 4lb to stablemate FUN FUN FUN, a Grade 2 bumper winner who made all for an easy hurdling debut success here last month. Miss Agusta relished the heavy conditions on her hurdling debut at Galway and can only improve while easy Tipperary maiden winner Birdie Or Bust takes a drop in class after two runs in Grade 3 company. The latter is very closely matched with A Law Of Her Own on their recent run at Down Royal.
