Verdict

DARKDESERTHIGHWAY shaped well after 4 months off when third at Punchestown 16 days ago and, with the run likely to have brought her on, she makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. The Mpex Kid took a step back in the right direction at Galway on his most recent outing and has been given a real chance by the assessor having been eased 6 lb on the back of that run, with last-time-out scorers Smaoineamh Sile and Rockbury Lad others to consider.
