Verdict
Listentillitellyea was beaten a nose in a Galway handicap and didn't get the run of the race when favourite at Ballinrobe a couple of weeks later. PEACE PARTY (NAP) finished a close second in the latter event with Makfils also not far away in fourth. The former was returning from a break having run very well in the spring and can go one better. Doyenna gave notice of an imminent victory when a close third at Clonmel and duly landed a Tramore maiden. She's on the upgrade but faces much stiffer competition here with Bite That having showed marked improvement to land a Tramore handicap. Four-times chase winner Downthecellar should be winning over hurdles soon from this sort of mark while a 6lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run from Kilbeggan winner Tincurra Lad.
