Verdict

Few of these arrive in any kind of form but the four-year-old FINAL ORDERS looked one to follow when scoring with a bit in hand at Wexford and a 5lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a double. Lunastar went up a massive 14lb when scoring by 10 lengths at Gowran but it didn't stop her as she was in the lead when falling at the last at Sligo. She's been hit with another 2lb rise but it will be a surprise if that prevents another big run. Saol Iontach looked a likely future winner when runner-up to Fairyhill Run at Ballinrobe but ran poorly at Listowel which wasn't her form. Vitudurum would have to be considered if getting a run after a much improved effort at Fairyhouse.
