        Verdict

        Not for the first time, FIRMDECISIONS ran poorly back over a mile last time. But he’d landed a course and distance double before that and should make a bold bid only 3lb higher today. Ballylare was ahead of Out Of The Ashes when scoring over track and trip though the latter is less exposed and should finish closer this time. Dundalk winner Miracle Ninetynine is 11lb higher on his first start for Ed Vaughan but Shypen has a shout off her current mark and Strong Challenge returns to action off a 5lb lower mark having struggled in the first half of last year.
