Verdict
RADAR AHEAD showed the benefit of her seasonal reappearance when caught close home in a 20-runner contest at Navan. Tom McCourt's mare, a winner over hurdles at Sligo last summer, comes back in trip slightly and may be able to gain a first victory on the Flat. Kakori didn't get the clearest of runs when a little over two lengths behind the selection at Navan and can get closer on this occasion. Forlio came home well over 1m2f last time but is not proven over this trip, while Stepdance is on a Flat four-timer and the first of her wins last season came after a similar layoff.
