In depth

Verdict

Ger Lyons had little option but to run FLUIDITY with a penalty after Emmett McNamara brought him home 8l clear at Navan last Saturday. The assessor will take a dim view of that performance and he should score again despite having to carry a huge weight. Madeira Girl was having just her fourth start when landing a fillies' maiden auction at Wexford and will find this step into handicap company tough while Equity Swap has been hit with a massive 14lb rise for scoring comfortably at Navan in April. Green Chorus was leading at this trip when just run out of it over 1m4f at Tramore and like Filatore will benefit from dropping back in distance.
