Verdict
Satin Snake is the only course winner in the line-up having given Form Of Praise 5lb and a beating of just over a length twelve days ago. He should confirm the form on these terms though Colin Keane, who rode him, was on board Hot Sunset when she returned to action last month and sticks with last summer's Sligo winner. Cherry Bloom finished in front of the latter that day but had the benefit of earlier runs so the one to take from the race could be CELEBRATE IN STYLE. Still a maiden after six starts, she didn't get the clearest of runs on her return to action but was beaten less than two lengths into fourth with Kirsapp just behind.
