Verdict
Several are penalised for winning maiden hurdles. Owenacurra Lass won at Tramore at the start of the year and Fresh Appeal also returns to action having scored at Clonmel back in March. Ballinrobe winner No Memory and COSA BAN were both well beaten in the same handicap at Limerick on their comeback but the latter re-opposes on much better terms under today’s race conditions and this longer trip will also suit. Flirting Lesa escapes a penalty for winning over fences last month but has been well beaten subsequently.
