Verdict

Soul Seeker makes a belated reappearance following a long absence. Dermot Weld's charge was placed in heavy ground maidens at Limerick and Naas last autumn and the lack of a run is rarely a problem for one from his yard. NA BLIANTA BEO is starting to look expensive as she's been a short-priced beaten favourite the last twice. However, her overall form should give her the edge with a close fourth in a Naas Listed contest likely to be too good for these. Truth Prevails is held by the selection on last week's run at the Curragh and Glow Worm is 0-14 and looks no nearer winning.
