In depth

Verdict

Valentina Lady is carrying a penalty for her bumper victory at Naas but should improve from her hurdling debut in heavy ground at Limerick. Fairyhill Run and Bavarian Girl are closely matched on their efforts over an extended 2m5f here though this looks a tougher race with WESTCOAST TIGER likely to prove difficult to beat. Gordon Elliott's mare was headed right on the line on her debut over timber at Wexford and today's shorter trip should see her go one better. Saol Iontach has plenty of experience but was placed for the first time in a Kilbeggan handicap last month.
