In depth

Verdict

Blue Dahlia attempted to make all when trounced by Dawn Eclipse over the C&D last month and didn't appear suited. She has much the better of the weights today and can take her revenge on the winner who has since been beaten in Listed company. Daffodil Walk, who finished third, has since found 7f on ground with some give too far at Sligo. Cosmic Breeze has continued to climb the weights without winning but she's by no means badly treated as her victory over Partner at Navan in May testifies. DUNDRUM DANCER has done most of her racing over 7f and has been finding the last furlong too much for her. She's still a maiden but a good run from her Galway conqueror Enjoy Your Life earlier in the day would boost her chances for this. Another maiden, Queenie Keen, has been going well and isn't without a chance.
