Verdict

LENJOLEUR DE PALMA finished a good second in a Listed handicap here during Christmas and that form stands out. Eric McNamara's top-weight initially shaped with some promise in the UK but has shown improvement on his Irish starts and while he hasn't raced since December, he is open to further progression and seems ground-versatile. Donnrua Dream ended a long losing spell here last month and although well beaten subsequently, he is suited by testing ground. Eight-year-old winning pointer Crohan Lady ran well at Thurles last month and now goes for a different trainer.
