Verdict

Speckled Meadow was having her 14th start when scoring comfortably at Thurles but an 11lb rise makes this tougher. Lucky Queen, who was four lengths behind, has since run very well at Gowran so the form looks strong. Chatterbox has improved with each run and only just failed to hold off Your Honour over 1m3f at Killarney but Colin Keane, who rode her, is on board KING ARTHURS SWORD (NAP), whom he steered to victory at Leopardstown on Saturday and Michael O'Callaghan's charge can defy a penalty. The champion was also on board Newgirlintown when she last won at Dundalk while Derry Lad has been in good form though was beaten eight lengths when runner-up at Naas.
