Verdict
OHH LALA has progressed nicely and followed a very good run over this trip at Fairyhouse with a victory over an extra furlong at Sligo. She doesn't look overburdened and can complete the double with Leigh Roche's claim a bonus. As Good As Gold was well beaten in a Group 3 here last time but an earlier placed effort at Fairyhouse would be good enough for her to get into the frame. Saunna Belle may have found the ground too soft last time after showing good speed behind The Great War at Tipperary though she's held by Splashtop on that latest running and it would be no surprise to see the latter in contention here.
