Verdict

Loaded couldn't quite hold Mulzamm at Galway but a similar run would see him there at the business end but SUMMER'S DREAM looks the one to beat. Emma Doyle sent her well clear at Killarney and though eventually reeled in by the favourite Sharp Focus fought back and was only narrowly beaten. Woods ran a very good race from a poor draw at Cork on Saturday though he's never raced over a trip this far but it's about time Hans Solo was winning and he's only 1lb higher than when narrowly beaten the last twice. Hidden Spark is usually thereabouts, as he was when beaten in a tight finish over the track and trip last time, though a strike-rate of 1-28 is off-putting, while Olly's Folly is 0-35 but ran his best race for a very long time at Leopardstown three weeks ago.
