Verdict

Thanks For Tea lost out on her hat-trick when disqualified after finishing first past the post at Limerick last month and to add insult to injury she's been raised 8lb. Tiger Bay Lady has the form for this but has twice refused to race and can hardly be trusted. Western Home was beaten a long way when placed at Cartmel but the lightly-raced JO GO (NAP) has been running well at this sort of level since scoring at Clonmel in April and is handed the vote though a bit more rain would do her chances no harm.
