Verdict
Lucy Van Pelt, the only course winner, also ran well here in October and had little chance in a Listed race on her reappearance here last month. MAC'S XPRESS makes a quick reappearance after falling at the last when there with a chance at Tipperary on Thursday. That looked a better race than this and compensation awaits. Light Parade's best form last summer was on ground with some give and prefers a bit further while Princess Sophie has disappointed on too many occasions. Redwood Queen has joined Charles Byrne and looks on a reasonable mark.
