Verdict

Mia's Anthem landed a handicap at Perth in July but didn't last out 3m2f at Carlisle a month later. Lapse Of Reason was headed in the final strides over an extended 3m at Roscommon then was surprisingly sent over hurdles at Bellewstown. He can go well back over fences while the prolific point-to-point winner Carlanstown will be happier back over fences after two very good run over timber at Perth. CERCA TROVA was gaining her first ever success on her 21st start when just getting up over hurdles here last month. She's had little experience but, with Johnny Burke using his 5lb claim, she looks very attractively weighted and can double her winning tally.
