In depth

Verdict

Newgirlintown followed her victory over 1m2f at Chelmsford with a poor run at Southwell but then scored over the same trip at Fairyhouse on Sunday. She has a 6lb penalty to carry while Plum Perfect disappointed back on Turf at Leopardstown after landing a Dundalk maiden in March. Loaded also scored at Dundalk in November and though 4lb higher has won from much higher marks in the past. Clueless Hill has never won though ran better than expected at Tipperary but it's about time KEEP BELIEVING showed some signs of a revival. He hasn't won for a very long time but has only had two runs for Joseph O'Brien and has dropped to a very lowly mark.
