In depth

Verdict

The Living Beauty battled to victory over fences on heavy ground at Tramore and is on a lower mark over hurdles while Simple Steps has also been chasing though she's never won in either discipline. The Fitz Lady landed a Cork handicap in October but ran very poorly at Thurles a couple of weeks later and though Moores Road did well to finish runner-up in a maiden here on Tuesday that was her 13th run without a victory. Luckey Seven hasn't shown much since his maiden victory at Sligo and Apache Outlaw's only success came in a Taunton selling hurdle. EDVARDO (NAP) scored over slightly further here in March before a very good run at Fairyhouse. He will have needed his run at Navan earlier this month and looks well enough handicapped to go in again.
