In depth

Verdict

Blixt will have her supporters here having met interference when second at Clonmel last month. Katie Walsh keeps faith with Decision Time, who was only headed close home at Tramore at the start of the month while Gemma's Flame ran her best race so far at Ballinrobe. OSCO MOSCO was easy to back on debut at Tramore so must have delighted connections when staying on strongly to only go down by a length. She is sure to improve on that as Jamie Codd takes over the reins but stablemate Rubbing Shoulders may need the experience.
