In depth

Verdict

Reach Up did show promise at Naas last month but that was sandwiched between poor efforts at Leopardstown and over 2m here. Sweetlight D'oroux is tried in blinkers after a debut fourth at Punchestown while there is probably more to come from Steer Clear after just the three runs, though he may do better in handicaps. R’EVELYN PLEASURE is improving with experience and was forced to cover extra ground last time at Naas. Donagh Meyler is a decent jockey booking and Sean O’Brien’s charge gets the nod with Mangan Julia possibly the pick of the remainder.
