In depth

Verdict

STEEL WAVE (NAP) had only shown moderate form before being well supported at Galway last month and gaining a comprehensive victory. He went up 8lb and couldn't quite manage to complete a double at Gowran but was conceding the winner 16lb and can get back to winning ways. The Fitz Lady gained her first-ever victory on her 25th career start at Ballinrobe last month and though 6lb higher should make a bold bid to double her tally. You Can't Catch Me won over this trip at Clonmel before just failing to concede 8lb to Urban Dusk over slightly sorter at Downpatrick while quick ground suits Pace And Passion, who found her form during the summer winning twice over this trip. No Kidding has yet to win but has slipped to a fair mark and can go well for Barry Geraghty.
