Verdict

SAPPHIRE LADY, probably been laid out for this competitive heat after a decent winter break, reappeared to land a straightforward opportunity in a mares' chase at Punchestown in May. She's landed two of three chasing starts and her nine-length defeat of Gin On Lime in Thurles last October now rates very good form. Jerandme would be a player if getting a run while Everlastingpromise is also likely to have been prepared with this in mind and should be spot-on for Bolger and McManus after two starts this season. Dunvegan's best is a useful level and he shaped well at Leopardstown on the Flat this month and should prove cherry-ripe now while recent winner The Big Lense also commands respect, as would reserve Funky Dady if getting a run
