Verdict

GLIBIN hasn't always impressed with her attitude but did little wrong behind Miss Accurate at Wexford and is given another chance. Gordon Elliott saddles both Court Lexi, a promising second behind Devil's Elbow here in May, and Donna's Benefit, who was well clear when unshipping her rider at the halfway mark at Roscommon. Point-to-point winner Slaney Conflict may do best of the remainder as she ran quite well on her bumper debut at Wexford earlier this month.
