Verdict
The weights greatly favour PRAVALAGUNA and, though she’s not been at her absolute best since winning a Listed chase at Naas in February, she should take all the beating. Count Simon doesn’t know how to run a bad race and will be hard to keep out of the frame and Gordon Elliott also runs the in-form Everybreathyoutake, who wasn’t beaten far by Fred The Foot at Limerick when on a hat-trick. Macgiloney keeps improving and ran another sound race at Galway last week.
