Verdict
Central Moves showed plenty of promise in her three starts last season and there was confidence behind her when she made a successful reappearance over 6f here in March. An 8lbs rise won't aid her cause this time but she looks certain to make further progress. BIG BAD BILLY BOB and Smoky Cloud keep running into each other and there is nothing between the pair on any of their collateral form but the former just gets the vote by virtue of another fine run behind Book Of Numbers at Wexford when his old rival was just behind. Sarahthecarer has produced her two best runs on this track and could be suited by the step-up in trip while Shabassh makes his debut on the surface having scored on very fast ground at Limerick last summer.
