Verdict

KLASSY KAY looked one to follow from her low mark when scoring at Punchestown but disappointed when well supported at Leopardstown next time. She's given another chance from the bottom of the weights. Millen To One finally gained reward for some strong runs when scoring over 2m4f at Leopardstown while Kellyiscool would have to be considered on his narrow defeat at Thurles though was engaged in the 4.35 at Cork yesterday, as was It Could Be You. Max Flamingo will find this tougher than the maiden he won at Leopardstown though that was only his fifth start while Capilano Bridge is in good form and was staying on over 2m4f at Thurles. Red Gerry was in good form last summer though is yet to prove he stays this far.
