Verdict

Red Pearl looked a certain future winner when runner-up in a huge field of maidens at Punchestown but she didn't run well when tackling softer ground in handicap company at Galway. She has plenty of weight to concede to the four-year-old MISTY MOUNTAIN and Jimmy Lambe's filly looks certain improve on two fair efforts at Sligo. Winning point-to-pointer Its All A Lark ran very well at Tramore last time and it will be a surprise if she's not thereabouts while The Princetonian has had nine starts in bumpers and should do better over hurdles.
