In depth
Verdict
TANGENTAL (NAP) stayed on strongly to score over the trip at Clonmel then very nearly defied a 7lb rise at Thurles, a race that has worked out well. Sarah Kavanagh takes over the reins here and Colm Murphy's charge looks well in. My Friend The Wind has been chasing without much luck but has some decent form on this sort of ground over timber while Morrie In D Quarry ran his best race to date at Limerick earlier this month and is a pound lower. Townhill Penny returns after a break but is just 4lb higher than her victory at Downpatrick in August.
