Verdict
LILIAN BLAND (NAP) scored between the flags in February and has shown much improved form over timber subsequently. She led for a long way on testing ground at Clonmel earlier this month and stayed on when headed so gets the nod to go one better. Port Rashid took advantage of quicker ground when scoring at Thurles and didn't look suited by softer conditions on a return visit unlike Royal Rhythm, who showed himself a real mudlark at Clonmel last month. Hard Target went up 8lb for an easy victory on the latter track in December and struggled at Punchestown a couple of months later. Anstand started favourite at Naas on the back of a second at Clonmel but was well beaten.
