Verdict

Too Hard To Hold has a 6lb penalty for beating SESTRIERE a neck at Fairyhouse on Tuesday. Neither have won on the all-weather and the latter is still a maiden after 19 starts though won't get many better chances. Red Cymbal has won around here but has been unable to take advantage of a much lower mark on the Flat recently and is very closely matched with Lapilli on their 1-2 here in January when the latter came out on top. The three-year-old Sebs Star is still a maiden but has run well around here while Kieran Cotter has two runners and has booked Colin Keane for Ahyoka, who was only beaten a length when sixth on her handicap debut at the Curragh.
