Verdict
Attitash easily landed a Sligo handicap for Willie Mullins in August last year but went up 12lb and has changed stables. L'OR DES ROSES (NAP) gained a breakthrough success in easy fashion at Cork where he made all and was eased right down. He's up 9lb but that was only his fifth race over timber. Lizlucky also showed improved form when scoring at Clonmel and a 6lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run while Gali Flight ran well in a maiden here in February and when placed at Gowran in September. Winning bumper Moonovercloon made an encouraging handicap debut at Navan last week and should be winning soon.
