Verdict

A race for horses that have never been placed under Rules. YOUNG DARLEEN, a winner between the flags, came closest when fifth at Clonmel and she won't need to improve much on that to get off the mark. Fruit Blossom showed her only worthwhile form on heavy ground but Walk Out didn't run badly at Clonmel. Out The Gap wasn't disgraced in a Limerick handicap and the market may prove the best guide to the chances of the remainder.
