Verdict

NO PATIENCE would have finished closer with a clear run in a 6f course handicap starting out for John McConnell 3 weeks ago and upped in trip, is taken to build on that. Sunset Nova arrives in top form and is a danger, along with She's In The Game assuming she is fit enough on this return.

  1. NO PATIENCE (IRE)
  2. SUNSET NOVA (IRE)
  3. SHE'S IN THE GAME (IRE)
