Verdict
Well Set Up landed Listed and Grade 3 events at Cork before an even better run behind Fury Road in a Grade 2 here and can't have been right when well beaten at Punchestown. Drury looked potentially useful when landing a couple of minor races but has been well beaten subsequently. Larquebuse was 6 lengths behind Well Set Up at Cork but got back to winning ways with an easy victory at Leopardstown. SCARLET AND DOVE has more to do than when landing a Navan maiden but did it so nicely that she's taken to make enough progress to land this much better race. Bay Ambition was left a very long way clear when a close rival fell two out in a Thurles handicap.
