Verdict

BELUCKYAGAIN hasn't raced since September and is clearly no world-beater but she showed enough with a staying-on second behind Theos Well at Listowel to suggest she can go close in a race like this. Cordelia Belle will have improved for a run over hurdles at Tramore and was second in a similar contest at Downpatrick last spring while Contessa Margerita wasn't beaten far at Limerick 10 days ago and has to enter calculations on that effort. Bell's Cross and Cloudy Rock are winning pointers while Strandfield Queen is nicely-bred and will have learned plenty from her debut at Fairyhouse last April.
