Verdict

Sagittarius Rising gained his only victory in very testing ground and, though that was in May 2018, he's dropped to such a lowly mark that he has to be respected after a better run at Tipperary. Jungle Jungle went up 7lb for scoring at Gowran and has been unable to cope but Colin Keane is a positive booking. Is Fantastic looked a likely future winner when narrowly beaten at Gowran but missed the break and never got into contention here next time. She should go well along with Neyland, who finished just in front of her, but it's about time NEW YORK BALLET (NAP) was winning and this could be her day. She'd be a near-certainty on last October's placed effort behind Patrick Sarsfield at the Curragh and, though she hasn't come close to that form subsequently, she was a bit unlucky in-running at Dundalk last time.
