Verdict

MOSKOVITE winner over this trip got off the mark at the fourth time of asking over hurdles in a Navan maiden earlier this month and can follow up on that success here. The Denis Hogan-trained mare can see off the attention of the game Littlestickarubarb and the Jessica Harrington-trained Rovetta, who may have needed the run on Saturday. Drakaina holds a record of 123 over C&D and could go well at a price.
  1. Moskovite
