Verdict

The front-running EINSTEINS FOLLY may have the legs of these as he was only caught close home over 7f at Leopardstown last time and had beaten subsequent winner Count Of Limonade on heavy ground earlier. Versilia Gal and Katchy Lady were separated by half-a-length when they were 1-2 at Navan and the former should just about come out on top again despite the runner-up having the services of a 5lb claimer. Truly Madly was receiving 5lb when beaten a neck by Versilia Gal at Cork and gets a couple of pounds more here so there's little between them while Chips Are Down was a nose behind Katchy Lady at Tipperary in April and is a massive 17lb better off though he's failed to make the expected progress.
