Verdict
Plenty of these are running well without winning including PERFECT POISE, who was having just her sixth start when beaten a nose at Navan and can race from a pound lower mark. Morning Approach has been beaten off lower marks in her last four starts and One Boss has never won but was only beaten a neck at Bellewstown and has to be of interest along with Mere Accountant, who was very close behind. Church Mountain won over the trip at Killarney and has raced over further in his last two starts so has to be respected.
