Verdict
Western Dreaming gained his only victory over the course and distance and is back on the same mark. Dorans River has also won around here and though looking a few pounds high following his Kilbeggan double is greatly respected. Conna Cottage has moved to Charles Byrnes after finishing second in a Sligo claimer and he'll likely find a race for him soon while PENNY JAR, who completed a hat-trick last year, has had a couple of runs on the Flat in-between a very good third over timber at Killarney and can return to winning ways. The lightly-raced Ounce Of Gold showed major improvement at Punchestown while Positive Thinker was in fine form on ground with plenty of give last winter. Tomas O Maille was placed again at Galway on Monday but is yet to win.
