Verdict

HIDDEN SPARK only dead-heated for first at Naas on her reappearance and debut for Adrian McGuinness but that’s still the best recent form on offer in a weak contest. Dark Design finished closer at Killarney last time while both Tashim and Misty At Sea slip further down the weights. Power Of Lazarus and Swiss Cottage were both reserves in the same race at Listowel yesterday.
