Verdict

Folk Law just got the better of Dandyleekie over 5f here earlier this month but the latter has been well beaten subsequently though in much better class. The winner can confirm the form with the runner-up but ARRIANA, who was beaten 2l into third, got no sort of run and her earlier form entitles her to reverse placings with the front two and take this. Intense Style has been tackling better company and found a mile too far at Listowel while Approbare has been very highly tried in two Group 3's though he started a huge price in both. He wasn't far behind Cappella Sansevero at the Curragh and is respected.
