Verdict
Beauty Bella has now had nine starts without winning but has rarely been beaten far and Jack Cleary's claim is a bonus. ONE BOSS has had 11 starts and came closest to winning when beaten a neck in a course and distance handicap last month. She can go one better though prospective punters will need to forgive a poor run later at Punchestown when favourite. Miss McHenry would have a definite chance on her penultimate run at Navan when beaten less than two lengths in a handicap. The remainder make no appeal.
