Verdict

A GREAT BUZZ shaped well back from a break at Cork last month and there's a race in her from a mark in the 90s on that evidence. There should be more to come from Henry de Bromhead's Doonbeg Don in handicaps so he's second choice ahead of Mahler Appeal and Tankardstown Diva.

  1. A GREAT BUZZ (IRE)
  2. DOONBEG DON (IRE)
  3. MAHLER APPEAL (IRE)
