Verdict

MISTY MILLIE was rewarded for some good performances with a convincing victory at Bellewstown where Clonard Abbey was over two lengths back in third. Colin Keane retains the ride on the filly, who is only 5lb higher and can complete a double. Sweet Affection just held on by a short-head from Guido Reni at Leopardstown but they meet on the same terms taking jockey claims into consideration. The winner is less exposed and can confirm the form while Getaway Queen has to be considered after holding on at Tramore. Harvey Specter has run well in both starts since scoring at Killarney and, with regular rider Dylan Browne McMonagle again in the saddle, can get into the action.
