Verdict

Bedecked is hardly consistent but would prove a threat if repeating her latest run behind Horizon Sky at Gowran. However, RANDALL'S ALANNAH, who had previously beat two rivals at Sligo, didn't get the clearest of runs and with a pull in the weights is taken to reverse the form and land this tricky nursery. Angela's Dream had looked ready to win soon before a moderate effort at Dundalk while Zenetti has struggled to last out a mile lately and should be suited by today's trip. Lirico has been beaten a long way on all three starts including when runner-up last time while Clancy Avenue looks high enough in the weights for what he's shown so far.
