In depth

Verdict

Maggie Thunder has been in fine form since the start of the year and though all three of her track victories have been over the minimum trip she stays the extra with no problems. She was conceding 7lb to Poet's Pride when scoring last month and will be better off with David Marnane's charge, who was ridden by an apprentice that day. PRETTY SMART couldn't quite get to Mi Esperanza at Naas on Saturday but that was over 5f and, with a track and trip victory under her belt, she can go one better. Blue Wood has never won but has been going well enough to consider with Kevin Manning again booked while Monzoon only faded close home over 7f here last time after showing very good pace throughout and the form is working out well.
