Verdict
ARDEEN JOY was in the process of challenging the leader when she fell at the last at Limerick and is well worth another chance. She had shown a glimmer of ability at Cork the start prior and should still be capable of better. Spring Waltz was a commanding winner of a point-to-point at Ballindenisk last month and should be monitored in the betting ahead of her Rules debut. Everyday Life also arrives from the pointing sphere and is of interest, along with Miss Jocund.
Expert View Verdict
ARDEEN JOY would've gone close but for departing late last time and can make amends here if none the worse for that spill. She sets a clear standard on ratings and is chosen ahead of point winner Spring Waltz who starts out under rules for a top stable. Hathaways Cottage will ideally want further than this in time but she could stay on into a place.
