Verdict
Hepahepa Naeney was beaten a long way on the flat at Bellewstown on Saturday and will probably need the rains to arrive before getting competitive again. The four-year-old Bavard Court showed improved form behind Save My Blushes at Kilbeggan and should continue on the upgrade while the front-running First Beauty probably found the minimum trip too short at Listowel after an impressive victory over 2m3f at Limerick. She looks certain to go well but the vote goes to SCHUMPTERS LAD, who found this trip exactly to his liking when beating Noras Fancy at Wexford after a fine effort at Punchestown earlier.
