Verdict

LUKE'S BENEFIT has made all for easy victories at Limerick and Fairyhouse this month and though raised 9lb for his latest success he probably isn't finished yet and can complete a hat-trick. Baby Whizz returned to form with a fine effort at Naas but St Killian's Run looks a bigger threat. Gordon Elliott's charge easily won a Thurles handicap earlier this month and ran well enough considering he was poorly handicapped at Cheltenham a few days later. Littletown Lass was having only her second start in a handicap when runner-up to Monahullan Prince here last time and should improve and she holds Mount Welcome on that form.
