Verdict

It's a slight concern that STAR GLORY was withdrawn when becoming upset in the stalls here last month, but she had previously shaped up nicely on her Curragh debut and looks worth chancing. She came from some way back to take sixth place that day and, if on her best behaviour now, she can put it up to the more experienced Sea Of Rain. The latter finished clear of Jezzie Bea and Ballyskeagh when second at Roscommon and can confirm superiority.

Top Tip: Star Glory (8)
Watch out for: Sea Of Rain (13)

Sea Of Rain sets the standard here after two solid runner-up efforts, including over C&D two starts back, but she faces some potential improvers in the shape of Jezzie Bea, who was two places behind last time at Roscommon, and BOLD MOVE, who couldn't get in a challenge from the rear behind the Bolger runner over C&D on debut but has had a month to develop and could improver plenty at the second attempt for his top yard.
