Verdict
Leading owner J P McManus has three entries and Barry Geraghty is on board Spruced Up, who showed a bit of promise here in March and makes her handicap debut. Mark Walsh rides ENCORE LUI, who looks to have more of a chance after just failing to hold Dollys Destination over the track and trip. World Premier has been in winning form over fences but is 0-19 over hurdles while Riverdene is also a maiden over timber and appears to need further. Laureate was quite highly tried after winning a Downpatrick maiden and had no chance when last in a Grade 2 at Down Royal last time.
