Verdict
Arakan Quest ran well at Perth last month though this looks a tougher race with SWEETTOWATCH taken to go one better than at Sligo where she finished very strongly behind Last Golden Ticket. Lisa O'Neill rides again and Nigel Slevin's mare can get the better of Tudors Glory, who has been placed in a couple of decent bumpers at Kilbeggan and Galway. Tecumseh Sherman ran well on his debut at Roscommon but didn't make the expected improvement at Downpatrick.
