Verdict
A low-grade handicap in which Maggie Walsh is likely to attract support after doubling her winning tally at Tramore last weekend for which she's up 6lb. Lurkash, who was beaten just over two lengths into third, has a chance of reversing the form on 5lb better terms. Emily In Paris was a well-beaten second in a maiden on the same card but this can go to CRAFTY GAEL. Ross O'Sullivan's charge attracted strong support over the minimum here last month and though unable to cope with the winner was staying on strongly so should be suited by the extra. Serpolette will enjoy the conditions more than most and bounced back to form at Down Royal while Nasee ran his best race for a long time over the track and trip last month.
