In depth

Verdict

Voge was receiving 5lb when just getting up to beat Realt Rua at the Curragh but has to concede 3lb here and the runner-up should gain her revenge and make a bold bid to lose her maiden tag. Conversely wasn't far behind in fourth though looks held while Maarek is a light of former days and hasn't won since the Beverley Bullet two years ago though is now on his lowest mark since 2011. GO KART hasn't won for a while but has been competing at a high level and running well enough to suggest she can see off these rivals.
