Verdict
Palabres hadn't shown much since her two-year-old days before making most over a mile here last month in first-time blinkers. The runner-up has won subsequently so a 5lb rise doesn't look excessive. ACCLADORA (NAP) hadn't run since 2017 when runner-up over this trip at Gowran then was only caught close home over a mile at Naas. She's on the same mark here and can start making up for lost time. Silk Cravat, four times a winner on the all-weather, is 0-24 on Turf but Legendre made a promising handicap debut over a mile at Naas when only fading in the closing stages. The Lady's Bid scored over an extended 1m1f at Gowran and hasn't raced over a trip this short since her two-year-old days but Caesar's Comet hails from a yard going well and wasn't beaten far from this mark at Cork.
