Verdict
Clar Na Mionn had been showing consistent form before comfortably landing a course and distance handicap last month from Bearly Legal, who has been well beaten subsequently though over a much longer trip. The pair should go well again but sixth-placed Mister First looks held. ART LORD was sent to Ayr for a three mile handicap on Tuesday and won easily though his path was cleared when a rival fell at the third last. He's only penalised 4lb and looks on a lenient enough mark to complete a quick double. The fourteen-year-old Montana Slim just failed to land a gamble last time but was engaged to run at Navan yesterday.
