In depth

Verdict

Boragh Steps couldn't handle Listed company at Naas but had earlier beaten Canford Art a neck off levels at Dundalk so there's nothing between the pair here. IT'S ALL A JOKE (NAP) was beaten just over a length by the latter at Dundalk in December and is 12lb better off here so should have no problems reversing the form and he couldn't cope with heavy ground at the Curragh last time. Early Call has been showing good speed without winning while Art Of Unity has been going well enough in similar class to consider. Summerseat Dream had shown virtually nothing in maidens though that didn't prevent her attracting support on her handicap debut at Tipperary on Monday where she duly obliged. She's up 11lb and is 2lb out of the handicap but is probably still well enough treated to get competitive.
