Verdict
KEKE is progressing nicely and had Rathbranchurch just under a length behind when landing a Bellewstown maiden. The latter has won subsequently and there's little between them at the revised weights but the winner just gets the nod. Art Of Unity was a length behind Rathbranchurch at Navan and is no better off but Mymomentintime won this a year ago and though 10lb higher has been running consistently all season. Elda landed a Tipperary maiden and was competing in a very strong handicap here next time but Linger For Longer's only success came over an extra furlong.
