Verdict
Desert Heather has suddenly found her form between the flags completing a hat-trick, all when odds-on. She receives the mares' allowance from the four-year-old Famous Angel, well supported here last time but beaten a long way. Buddy One was a 250/1 chance at Navan last month but did better than expected and has to be respected while SONNY MAY was returned the same SP when a very good fifth at Punchestown. The latter was staying on over that extended two miles so today's trip is likely to prove ideal. Kalahari Diamond has shown potential and is one to note in the market.
