In depth
Verdict
Eurosmart Lady produced her best effort for a very long time behind Full Title at Fairyhouse and would enter the picture with a similar performance. Apollo Run, who started favourite, could only finish fifth and looks held. PROUD CATCH is still a maiden and has gradually been slipping down the handicap. He was having only his second start since September when a good fourth behind Connyella at Gowran last month and a 2lbs drop in the ratings must have come as a pleasant surprise to connections. All In Clover has never fulfilled the potential she showed when a close runner-up to Silver Shoon at Listowel in September.
