Verdict
BALLYGLASS BEAUTY is 13lb higher than when scoring over slightly further here in September but has continued to run well and can defy the extra. Desert Heather was well supported for a Clonmel maiden after a fine run over this trip at Limerick but found 2m3f too short. Cheerful Chap is 11lb higher than when scoring at Tramore in December but ran a cracking race from the front at Punchestown last time and looks certain to be thereabouts. Though he was beaten by Dr Val in the latter event, there's little between them at the revised weights. Townhill Penny has disappointed since scoring at Downpatrick in August and she wouldn't want more rain.
