Verdict

ANGEL OF THE SKY had the measure of Pikaia when only beaten a neck at the Curragh and this looks less competitive. Luke Comer’s mare gets the vote having beaten Third Avenue when scoring at Ballinrobe earlier with the latter since finishing in front of Vita Veritas when a close-up fourth at the Curragh. Walnut Beach placed again when third at Thurles last time while Figlio D'arte finished runner-up at Gowran two runs ago but disappointed when favourite at Tipperary next time and has been rested since.
