In depth
Verdict
This looks a tough handicap at first glance but those who witnessed BONDAGE scoring very easily at Ballinrobe on Monday won't want to miss him here with a 5lb penalty. Gordon Elliott's charge was always traveling best and though dropping down in trip should have no problems gaining a quick double. Melodie D'Amour has had little experience but is on the upgrade judging by her fine run behind Dearest Girl at Roscommon while another lightly-raced filly, Perfect Gemstone, tackles handicap company for the first time and could be on a very fair mark. The veteran Paramount wins his share though the trip could just be on the short side while Miranda's Girl and Leah Claire, who battled out the finish of a Roscommon handicap last month, appear to have more to do.
