Maiden winner who appeared to be going nowhere until a revived second of 14 at Wexford (2m1f, good to yielding); nudged up 2lb for that but a greater worry would be that this is a better race.

Verdict

Of those with form in the book, Penelope’s Charm is the standard-setter but there are a couple of debutantes in here with nice-looking profiles, including the Willie Mullins-trained INTROVERSIO who should take all the beating. Declan Queally has excelled in bumpers this season so Queen’s Meadow is worth a market check, as is Dolly’s Call who hails from the Charles Byrnes camp. [Adrian Wall]
