Verdict
Shane Fitzgerald was on board when Esthers Marvel made most until headed before the last at Wexford and his mount should make a bold bid from the front. BRIGHT SUNBIRD couldn't get close to the in-form Hattie Amarin at Cork but stayed on over that slightly shorter trip and can go one better. She holds Stellar Stow on that run while Naturally Blonde went up 8lb for an easy victory over the track and trip but then ran poorly at Tramore. Elite Des Mottes definitely improved at Cork while Time And Times ran his best race of the summer when beaten a head over this trip at Navan.
