In depth
Verdict
Discovery Lad is a lightly-raced maiden who looks to have been given plenty to do on his handicap debut and though Sweetasever won at Navan last month she was beaten at Hamilton last time and may be a few pounds high. CLOUDY MISS appeared to find soft ground against her at Killarney after her victory at Bellewstown. She holds several of these on that earlier run and, providing the ground doesn't ease, can get back to winning ways. She looks the best of Michael Halford's trio while Gloves On was beaten a long way at Dundalk, though makes his handicap debut.
