Verdict

INDIE BELLE looked the winner until making a bad mistake at the final flight at Navan last time and can gain compensation off an unchanged mark here. Lizlucky is next on the list on the back of her good Punchestown second, with Gowran runner-up Bynx another who can't be taken lightly in an open handicap.
