Verdict

DOYEN TA WIN shaped well under an aggresive ride when runner-up at Wexford and is fancied to go one better here at the chief expense of handicap-debutant Bella Union who wasn't given a hard time of it when ninth at Gowran last time out. Bluebell Diva is also weighted to have a say on the back of her very good Limerick second.
