Almadaa continues his busy year and was due to run in an apprentice race at Cork last night where he had a real chance. VASONI is a soft ground specialist who scored over the course and distance in June before a fine effort at Galway with an 8lb rise to contend with. She's well in and can see off the attentions of Jumbo Steps, who took 24 races to get off the mark then completed a double before a good second to How Splendid at Naas on Monday. Versilia Gal and Bainne fought out the finish of a course and distance handicap last month with the former just prevailing. The later had scored two days earlier and may have been feeling the effects so can reverse the places. Indian Landing has been running well but is 17lb higher than his victory at Dundalk in February.
