Verdict
UNANSWERED (NAP) showed only moderate early form which is why he was racing off a mark of 46 at Limerick when getting up close home over that 1m3f. He’s been raised 9lb but this looks a much more suitable trip. Star Of Burma showed some potential last season and reappeared with a victory over this course and distance last month for which a 5lb rise looks fair. Dual winner Female Approach had run well at Navan and was well supported on a return visit but wasn’t in the same kind of form. Vischio and Scalor finished 1-2 over the track and trip last month and the winner should confirm the form on the revised terms, though was well beaten at Navan next time
