Verdict
Drumacoo hasn't run since April but should be winning soon though he may have to wait until sent over hurdles. Ange D'Or Javilex was well supported on his return at Listowel but ran out of steam close home. That will have brought him on and he should get into the frame. Move To The Groove ran well enough on his bumper debut at Gowran to be respected but MISS NORTH LIGHT can give Nina Carberry another victory in this sphere. She made a promising debut behind Rathmuk Native here last month and then just failed to find a finishing burst against a couple of decent rivals at Tramore last week. The remainder were in another parish and Gordon Elliott's mare can make it third-time lucky.
