Verdict
Blackwitch Woman had John Veale and My St Clair close behind when making all at Tipperary. She's a little worse off at the weights here but the placed horses had every chance and the positions can be confirmed. Beauthea won at this meeting a year ago and though that was over 7f she is equally at home over this trip and has dropped to a very fair mark. TALKIN KATE was having just her fifth start when scoring at Naas under a claimer. She had a little more in hand than that narrow verdict suggests and though 7lbs higher this time she can progress again and take this. Captain Henry took advantage of a lenient mark at Dundalk last week and a 5lbs rise is by no means excessive.
