Verdict
A very moderate contest with hardly anything in form and Pana To Milan‘s placed effort at Tramore was over fences. Kopon came good around this time a year ago winning a Gowran handicap. She never got involved in last month‘s reappearance but should be a different proposition here. KATE ILL KNOW won a maiden on her debut here, her only victory to date. She was beaten just over a length on a return visit in March and can get off the mark for new connections. Kitsilano was sent to Cheltenham last time and the dual point-to-point winner did not run badly over a trip too short. Western Model has yet to reach a place in five starts but Bite That had been going well before clipping heels and almost falling at Limerick so looks a threat.
