Verdict

It would be no surprise to see Twist Of Magic reverse Gowran running with Joyce Compton on the revised terms. Cleona finally seemed to be getting the hang of things when third at Tipperary and Ger Lyons helps out Noble Intention with cheekpieces and a 10lb claimer. DUCK EGG BLUE clearly has her quirks but she's only been raised a couple of pounds for her win at Sligo and can go close again if handling the quicker surface. Lady Volante has hinted at ability and had no chance at Tipperary last month when 6lb out of the handicap.
