Verdict

Back on the same mark as when successful in this corresponding race 12 months ago, SURVIVING MURMANSK narrowly gets the vote ahead of recent Cork winner Ina Mina. If they go too hard, Annie's Angel could be the beneficiary, while Lanzhou also appeals following a better effort here on Thursday.

14	Front runner returns on same mark as when winning last year's renewal. Shaped as though back in similar form with creditable efforts at Cork and Kilbeggan this month. Has to be of serious interest. 1st Pick 14 Surviving Murmansk (Ire) Jockey: C. Stone-Walsh Trainer: James M. Barcoe, Ireland J: C. Stone-Walsh T: James M. Barcoe, Ireland	100	-	-	-	15%

4	Fairly useful at her best on Flat. Switch to front-running tactics worked well when capitalising on a lenient mark on handicap bow at Cork last time. Up 13 lb for that success but she's far from the finished article over hurdles. 2nd Pick 4 Ina Mina Jockey: J. P. Shinnick Trainer: Terence O'brien, Ireland J: J. P.

2	Again failed to fire on Flat for current connections at Galway latest. Did run a solid race when fifth on handicap hurdle bow at Roscommon prior to that. Could do better with cheekpieces on first time in this sphere/good-value claimer back aboard. 3rd Pick 2 Annie's Angel (Ire) Jockey: M. J. Kenneally Trainer: Adrian Mcguinness, Ireland J: M. J. Kenneally T: Adrian Mcguinness, Ireland	97	-	-	-	19%
Analysis Again failed to fire on Flat for current connections at Galway latest. Did run a solid race when fifth on handicap hurdle bow at Roscommon prior to that. Could do better with cheekpieces on first time in this sphere/good-value claimer back aboard.
