Verdict
Noel Meade has a strong hand here with Pulse Light and She's Local. Colin Keane rides the latter but it's her stablemate who looks to have the stronger claims having caught the eye over the track and trip last month when not getting the run of the race. Betterdaysrcoming was always in a challenging position at Roscommon but hung at a crucial stage but this doesn't look the toughest of maidens and Joseph O'Brien's newcomer ROARING GALLAGHER, by Roaring Lion out of an unraced mare from a smart family, can make a winning start.
