Verdict

GLOBAL FERT (NAP) landed a nice touch when sent to Uttoxeter on Friday, coming home clear, so a 6lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent a double. Pound A Stroke gained a shock 40/1 victory at Thurles last month, his first sign of ability, and he's up 7lb but Zagnzig has been going well at this sort of level and should be losing his maiden tag before long. Loughnavalley showed his liking for testing ground with an excellent third at Tramore and he has the scope to do better while the lightly-raced Cubomania has joined Gordon Elliott on a lowly mark so the betting should be monitored.
