Verdict

This looks a very strong renewal with five winners involved but DANTES FIRTH gets the mares' allowance which may be enough. She scored at Thurles in March and reappeared with a fine run behind the promising Owen Mc at Fairyhouse earlier this month. O Maonlai attracted very strong support when battling to victory over Redundant Man at Punchestown and Outlander looked potentially useful when beating Saffron Wells at Fairyhouse, though the runner-up has been beaten subsequently. Posiden Sea made all when creating a shock at Clonmel and will take some pegging back in that kind of mood.
