Verdict

Fluidity beat Purple by eight lengths at Navan on Saturday and, though carrying 5lb extra, should be able to confirm running with the Ballydoyle inmate over this longer trip. Security Breach, Castle Guest and Habesh are other recent winners with the former arguably having more scope for improvement than most of these but SHAMOODA left previous form well behind when upped to this distance at Roscommon and is on an upward curve. She has nothing to fear from Habesh on that run and can land the double.
