Verdict

LILY PARR is yet to get her head in front but with this return to 1½m promising to suit, Sheila Lavery's filly gets the tentative vote to cash in on a reduced mark at the expense of Searcog, who scored at Punchestown around this time last year and arrives fit from a spell over hurdles. Maxwell Smart and Sneddy Eddie can do battle for minor honours.

1	Hit the frame in pair of 1½m maidens last autumn and ran well in Galway handicap in July. Unable to get competitive at Roscommon next time and looked unsuited by the drop in trip at Punchestown last month. Eases further in the weights and return to 1½m promises to suit. 1st Pick 1 Lily Parr Jockey: R. C. Colgan Trainer: Ms Sheila Lavery, Ireland J: R. C. Colgan T: Ms Sheila Lavery, Ireland	96	-	-	-	29%

5	Fully exposed as modest in this sphere and has possibly reached her limit as a hurdler, third of 9 in maiden at Sligo (2¼m, good) just over 6 weeks ago. Handicapper has given her a squeak and no surprise if she's involved partnered by a talented claimer. 2nd Pick 5 Searcog (Ire) Jockey: Reese Holohan Trainer: Patrick Magee, Ireland J: Reese Holohan T: Patrick Magee, Ireland	99	-	-	-	34%
