Verdict
A few of these have been knocking on the door and Daliyah was only beaten a head in a Fairyhouse nursery last month. Sunday Smart almost caught Powersville at Naas and wouldn’t need much more to go one better here with the slightly longer trip in her favour. HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN was strongly fancied at Listowel after a promising debut at Roscommon and showed plenty of fight after racing prominently throughout. Proven on the ground, she might be worth another chance. Bronagh's Belle has shown ability and the booking of Pat Smullen catches the eye.
