Verdict

Jaime Sommers has been very busy and will be having her fourth start this month. She looked to be feeling the pinch at Navan on Saturday and was earlier 16 lengths behind MYSTIC THEATRE at Bellewstown. Willie Mullins' mare has hardly been out of a canter in her three runs over hurdles since landing a bumper in May and is impossible to oppose despite facing stronger opposition. Tellthemnuttin won three times in the spring and probably needed the run on her return to action at Galway while Lesley Dawn looked a cracking four-year-old when easily landing a Punchestown maiden in May and could be anything. Polar Present's victory over three miles here in June was gained on very fast going.
