Verdict

PAPAL PARADE (NAP), a comfortable winner over the trip on soft ground at Navan, couldn't quite cope with an 11lb rise when runner-up to the well-handicapped Kandahari at Gowran on Sunday but is still on an upward curve and can return to winning ways. Serefeli tackles this trip for the first time but was staying on strongly over a mile at Bellewstown and should be suited. Larksville hadn't shown much before a much better effort at Sligo, though that was on very testing ground, but Dynamic Focus has shown ability and found 1m4f stretching her stamina at Naas last time.
