Verdict
PROFIT REFUSED received interference when beaten a length by Snellen at Limerick and as the winner went on to land the Chesham Kevin Prendergast's filly is very difficult to oppose. Absolute Advantage caught the eye when staying on over 6f at the Curragh while Zona Verde seems likely to be suited by stepping up to this trip though will need more. Naisiun's dam has produced winners with her first three offspring while Edvard Grieg is also related to winners and his yard is in top form.
