In depth
Verdict
Bumper winner Brooks Falls was pulled-up on her hurdling bow while Dreamingandhoping never threatened when placed over timber earlier. Darrens Diamond has a shout on his fourth at Cork while Layla's Daffodil is a likely improver having recently switched yards. But KARLA MARTINA (NAP) showed a big improvement when third at Fairyhouse and given the runner-up Make Good has subsequently landed a Grade 2 contest, she gets the vote to open her account.
