Verdict
Corballis Flyer had to battle for a narrow victory over the track and trip on Monday when Never Back Down, who made the running until close home, was a close third. The latter has the better of the weights and can turn the tables while Dunum, who lost his maiden tag here last month, should make a bold bid to defy a 3lb rise and holds Hanbags N Gladrags on that run. However, third-placed EVERYLITTLESTEP looked like winning when leading 2f out until run out of it close home and is improving fast enough to reverse the places and take this. Ballysax should be losing her maiden tag soon but Dundalk winner Tara Power has a long absence to overcome.
