Verdict

National Service is one to keep a very close eye on in the market on just his third start for Gordon Elliott after being far from disgraced on his first two outings for the yard over the winter. He hasn't been seen since Dundalk in December but Luke Dempsey is a good booking and he would need taking extremely seriously if the money talks for him as he showed some useful sprint form when with Stuart Williams in England. Battleroftheboyne and LITTLE SWEETHEART finished first and third over course and distance last month, since when the former has posted another strong effort when runner-up to Bainne at the Curragh. Nevertheless, Little Sweetheart is weighted to reverse those placings at the revised weights under Jack Kennedy and has gained both career successes to date over the minimum trip. Course and distance winner, Calm Bay, is not ruled out despite topweight.
