Verdict
SLIEVE BEARNAGH (NAP) wasn't winning out of turn at Navan but has only been raised 4lb and Jack Kearney is booked with his 7lb claim so a follow-up looks likely. Alfalfa is still a maiden but went close at Navan and Wayne Hassett's 7lb claim is a plus as is Wesley Joyce's similar claim on board Final Check, a close second at Leopardstown after a battling victory at Killarney. Super Cub is only 1-29 but is now on his lowest-ever mark while Leabaland is another who has dropped to a winnable mark.
