Verdict
Expert View Verdict

Verdict

Colin Keane looks a significant booking on the Rodger Sweeney-trained SCEITIMINI. Unlucky in running when a close-up fifth at Dundalk in January, the Dandy Man gelding should be hard to beat if ready on his first start in over five months. Well drawn close to the rail, the three-year-old should get the perfect tow into the race. C&D winner Steel Magnolia ran a huge race when fourth at Naas, but has been done no favours by the draw. Nevertheless, if able to negotiate that difficulty, she should be involved. Stablemate Happy Henry is also drawn wide, but is generally held up and produced from off the pace.

Top Tip: Sceitimini (4)
Watch out for: Steel Magnolia (10)

The frustrating STEEL MAGNOLIA may finally be able to shed her maiden tag. She has gone close on varying surfaces recently off similar marks and could be suited by this sharper venue. If able to get across from her wide draw she can defeat Sceitimini who looks well treated on his recent midfield effort where he was given too much to do. At a bigger price You Smiled is also very interesting off what looks a generous opening mark judged on all 3 of her runs in sprint maidens.
