Verdict

This can go the way of PARK HIND, who went agonisingly close from 5 lb out of the handicap at Ballinrobe last month and with first-time cheekpieces applied to try eke out that bit extra, Andrew Lynch's mare can gain a breakthrough success. Motown Maggie ran her best race when runner-up at Ayr 4 months ago so she heads up the opposition on reappearance, with Aprils Joy and Some Dove also not discounted.

  1. PARK HIND (IRE)
  2. MOTOWN MAGGIE (IRE)
  3. APRILS JOY (IRE)
