In depth
Verdict
NOT A BAD OUL DAY (NAP) just missed out on a hat-trick when narrowly beaten at Gowran last time. This looks no tougher and he can confirm latest running with Reddot Express and return to winning ways. Keep Believing was well beaten at Cork attempting a treble but Pantsonfire improved on her handicap debut when going close at Navan and looks to have decent claims. Jealika finished ahead of Golden Dandy when fourth at the Curragh and The Lords Walk has been thereabouts at Dundalk but Nutcracker Suite continues to struggle.
