In depth
Verdict
Herb Of Grace hails from a yard in top form and contributed to the tally with a comfortable victory at Sligo. However, she was racing from a mark of 52 that day and is up a massive 15lb so this looks much tougher. CNODIAN (NAP) was 8 lengths behind in that Sligo event and never got close but she's been dropped 3lb and has a 5lb claimer on board which makes her 23lb better off so has every chance of turning the tables. Baltinglass Abbey has yet to win though has run some fair races at Dundalk but Zegos Surprise has been unable to cope with a big rise in the weights for her victory at Naas in March when Breagagh was well beaten.
