Verdict

KALOPSIA was caught close home by Glacial Drift at Down Royal but ran very poorly when tried in a hood at Roscommon. Not surprisingly the headgear is left off this time and hopefully she'll be back to her best as it doesn't look the toughest of races. Matchaway made a very encouraging debut when caught close home by Kilclispeen at Punchestown so it will be a surprise if he's not in the frame. Another Cyclone was beaten a long way when fourth at Fairyhouse but normal improvement can see him involved while Gordon Elliott has had numerous bumper winners in recent months and the Flat-bred Lucy Mc is certainly one to note.
