Verdict

Brogine has been racing over 2m4f following her very good second at Ballinrobe and will be suited by dropping back in trip. Elusive Ivy has some decent form to her credit and wasn't beaten far in a Limerick handicap a couple of weeks ago where she started favourite. Snaidhm has been reasonably consistent and would be a definite contender at his best though this could be destined for hurdling newcomer WHISTLE DIXIE. Gordon Elliott's mare, a winning point-to-pointer and dual bumper winner, finished a close fourth in a Listed bumper at Aintree on her last start in April and this close relation of Kicking King and numerous other winners could be a smart prospect over timber.
