Verdict

Cache Queen makes a quick reappearance after just failing to concede 12lb to the winner over 1m2f at Fairyhouse on Sunday and she won't mind the longer trip. Grove Hill was a couple of lengths behind in third and had earlier led at this trip before fading in the race won by Oromo over an extended 1m5f on the same track. He's no better off with Karl Thornton's charge, who was completing a double on the track having won over this trip earlier when ALLORA YEATS (NAP) was less than two lengths back in fourth. The latter is a real staying type as she showed when scoring over 1m6f at Bellewstown last week and, with the ground likely to be testing, she's taken to complete a quick double. Mithmaar was behind when the selection finished third at Navan earlier but Reddiac, having his third start since arriving from the UK, now runs over a more suitable trip. Swelling is 8lb higher than his victory at Fairyhouse last summer but showed his well-being with a fine run over hurdles last month.
