Verdict

Daliyan scored over hurdles in February and over 1m2f at Gowran last month before finishing third over 1m5f at Tipperary so it's a surprise to see him dropping down to a mile. Fiosrach gained his second success of the season over an extra furlong on this track and was staying on when dropped back to 7f at Leopardstown. He should go well though INDY GAL, who was beaten less than a length in that race here, is much better off at the weights and has since found 1m2f too far at Clonmel so she looks the one to be on. Lean And Keen followed his Dundalk victory with another good run at Naas and enters the reckoning but Madam Mo lost her maiden tag over 1m4f at Sligo and this looks on the short side.
