Verdict

A stronger than average maiden with the top four carrying penalties for bumper victories. They include the four-year-old Brighterdaysahead, unbeaten and impressive at Gowran and Fairyhouse and certain to attract attention. GONE FOR TEA landed a Ballinrobe bumper in style and though unable to get past Fathom Two on her hurdles bow at Downpatrick the third and fifth have won subsequently. River Tara easily won a bumper on the latter track but has been a bit disappointing in two starts over timber while Rockstown Girl couldn't quite make a winning start though she was conceding 8lb to the winner. Roccos Inspiration has now had 11 starts over timber without winning.
