Verdict

Bring Us Paradise won three of his last four in the UK last year and will have come on for his run at the Curragh in June. Slaney East landed a Fairyhouse maiden in good style and didn't look anywhere near her best in a Down Royal handicap next time. Clifftop has been going well though is still 10lb higher than his only victory but Globe Theatre ran better than his finishing position suggests at Galway. ESTEPONA SUN is stepping up in trip after appearing to find a mile too short at Cork and Colin Keane can steer him home in a moderate handicap. Lyrical Attraction was beaten a short-head over this trip at Roscommon and hasn't been beaten far in subsequent starts over 1m4f while Alexei Vronsky found a 9lb rise for his Roscommon victory too much to handle at the Curragh. Drakensberg was engaged in the 2.00 at Gowran yesterday.
