Verdict

A wide-open handicap that may go the way of LADY MARY HEATH, who looked to have plenty up her sleeve when winning at Punchestown on Thursday. Therewillbeglory and Spacebound are a couple of obvious dangers, with Loingseoir and Thru and Thru lurking on potentially dangerous marks.

13	Showed improved form/off the mark with a good deal more in hand than the official margin would suggest at Punchestown (1m) on Thursday. Big field over 7f should suit (has gone close over C&D previously) and may well follow up under a 7-lb penalty. 1st Pick 13 Lady Mary Heath (Ire) Jockey: Jack Cleary Trainer: Aidan Anthony Howard, Ireland J: Jack Cleary T: Aidan Anthony Howard, Ireland	100	-	-	-	34%	2/1

5	Made it a hat-trick of seconds in a 6f handicap here prior to getting off the mark in smooth style in a Naas maiden (7f). Interesting returning to handicap company on the back of an improved performance, with yard still going well. 2nd Pick 5 Therewillbeglory (Ire) Jockey: Andrew Joseph Slattery Trainer: A.

4	Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped better than the result when fourth in a big-field handicap here last month. Only found one too good in a maiden at Punchestown (7f) on Thursday. Could make a bold bid in first-time cheekpieces. 3rd Pick 4 Spacebound Jockey: P. Mcgettigan Trainer: Daniel Mcloughlin, Ireland J: P. Mcgettigan T: Daniel Mcloughlin, Ireland	97	-	-	-	8%	12/1
