Verdict
MASTER MATT has turned in a couple of shockers over longer distances since second over this trip at the Curragh early last month but he holds Harmony Rose on that latter run and Ken Condon’s mare is weighted to reverse last month’s form here with Lady Tilbury. Maria Branwell had useful two-year-old form but she’s been a bit disappointing this season while Congo River hasn’t run since September last year and has never won on Turf.
