      Verdict

      The narrow victory of CLONDINNERY over subsequent Group 3 winner Radharcnafarraige points to his chances here. Ger Lyons' colt showed his battling qualities that day at the Curragh which will stand him in good stead in this tight little Listed contest. Eastern Light is just held by the selection on a line through Radharcnafarraige and Highly Composed couldn't quite match strides with Seeham on her debut at the Curragh and may find these a little too quick at this stage of her career. After two Polytrack victories, Moment Of Weakness found Listed company too hot to handle when fifth behind Samuel Morse at the Curragh but Triple Eight looks a threat as though he was well behind Clondinnery on his debut he showed the benefit of that run by scoring easily over 7f at Gowran.
