Verdict
HANBAGS N GLADRAGS lost her maiden tag in emphatic style here three weeks ago and though 7lb higher had a bit in hand and can follow up. Runner-up Barretstown was finishing strongly and should get closer but third-placed The Bog Bank and the fifth Cactus Tree look held though neither was beaten far. Lady Leanora is the only other course winner in the line-up and she's better than she showed in heavy ground at Tipperary. Dunum had some strong form in handicaps last summer without winning and has changed trainers while Miss Cunning looks ready to win soon after being headed on the line over 1m2f at Cork last week.
