In depth
Verdict
MISS PRONUNCIATION was always travelling well when scoring on heavy ground at Limerick and though 9lb higher still looks well treated. Gowran maiden winner Perzzini unseated his rider for the second time in three runs at Gowran on Saturday but Ellaat arrives in very good form having won on the Flat on the latter track last month before placed at the Curragh. Realism was a disappointing favourite at Galway while Lazer Wolf has never won and makes his handicap debut.
