Verdict

Kevin Prendergast won this last year and Maude Adams should make a bold bid to follow-up as her juvenile form would be good enough though she didn't impress on heavy ground at Tipperary on her comeback. Sparkling View ran well over a mile before failing to stay 1m2f at Roscommon and newcomer Sparkling Rock can make an impression as she's bred for this trip. REACHING was also engaged in the Listed race later on the card but this is a more realistic option. She didn't sparkle on her reappearance over a mile here last month but that will have done her good and the shorter trip is in her favour.
