Verdict

SISTER SARAGH was fortunate to land a point at Largy a year ago but has joined Willie Mullins and the half-sister to the useful bumper Bordini can make a successful debut under Rules. Glendine River is unlikely to go down without a fight though she's now had seven starts in bumpers, mostly in quicker ground than she'll face here, and has yet to win. Nerual showed potential on her debut at Fairyhouse in December but ran poorly there the following month so Jimmy Mangan's newcomer Heavenly Promise may prove more of a threat as she is by Presenting out of a winning hurdler.
