Verdict
Nusra had been running poorly over hurdles before a close second on her return to the Flat at Limerick. Charlie Luciano, runner-up over 1m7f here last summer, scored over timber last month but could find this on the short side. BOLERO is 0-19 and is another who would prefer a bit further but she's been in better form than most and can finally get off the mark. Wojood was in very good form last summer and Daniel King is one of the more experienced riders here while Tudor Manor was returning from a long break when staying on over slightly shorter at Limerick last month. Striking would have a chance if getting a run from his reserve spot.
