Verdict
It'll Do My Day finished a close second to the in-form Tawaazon on heavy ground at Bellewstown but was only fifth at Dundalk on Friday. Midnight Fire is the only course winner and he's 8lb lower than when scoring here last May. Run Forrest Run, three-times a winner in the UK, ran easily his best race for new connections when a close third here last month while the three-year-old Senado Square followed a fine effort over this trip at Dundalk with a victory over 5f on heavy ground at Naas. The latter meets older rivals for the first time from 9lb higher so the vote goes to the maiden LET'S BELIEVE (NAP). He's only had six runs, one of them when beaten less than a length in this last year and he'll be racing from 8lb lower with his rider's claim taken into consideration.
