Verdict
There was some cut in the ground when SHESADABBER scored over track and trip last week with a below-par Popping Corks finishing last of 10. She can defy a penalty and go in again in a weak handicap. Without a win in 25 outings so far, Corton Lass never threatened at Ayr on her reappearance though still finished in front of Laoise while Tavener continues to struggle and gets additional headgear.
