Verdict

SLIEVENAMON appeared to turn a corner when winning in really good style at Cork last month over this sort of trip, a race from which the fourth home has since won twice. She perhaps found the drop back to 2m at Tramore a bit sharp and might be worth forgiving in the hopes that she'll return to that upwards curve now upped in journey. Hardback made an impressive winning start Sligo and is respected, also going in trip, for leading connections while Masterson and Ten Theatre are also considered in an open heat.
