In depth
Verdict
Mojambo has yet to win and didn't run particularly well at Gowran last time. Stormy Tale reappears after an excellent run at Cork on Friday where she finished runner-up after a long break. However, that was over 1m2f and whether she'll be as effective over this trip is another matter. Blue Petal didn't show much after landing a Tipperary claimer and looks high enough in the weights so a poor handicap can go to DANDY SUE. Gerard Keane's filly was ridden by an apprentice when she was staying on over the minimum at the Curragh and, with the champion jockey taking over, she can gain her first victory. Eadbhard looks a threat as Michael Grassick's charge stayed on strongly over a slightly shorter trip at Cork earlier this month then found the minimum trip too short at Tipperary.
