Verdict
A low-grade handicap but a few arrive in good form including TAYLORS THREE ROCK (NAP), who made all for a convincing success on his debut for Eric McNamare at Listowel on Monday and can defy a weight rise. Macs Lady also changed stables and showed her first sign of ability when runner-up in a big field at Limerick. Redwood Queen caught the eye of the stewards at Punchestown when returning from a long break but Up And Out is still a maiden after eleven starts. Grizabella ran a bit better when getting quicker ground at Wexford.
