Verdict

SARAH BEARA stepped up on her reappearance when fifth at Limerick last month and, with that form working out well, she's taken to end a long losing run. King In Love looks set to give another good account, while Juke Hill remains with potential now handicapping back up in trip and completes the shortlist.
