oddschecker Verdict
BYE BYE NOW was a winner over this distance at Dundalk back in March and has run well on both starts since. Second at Bellewstown two weeks ago, she gave it a good go from the front and is taken to go one better. Spirit Of Eagles won this race in 2023 and was runner-up 12 months ago. She clearly has a chance again along with Shamanka, who was only a neck behind her when they finished third and fourth respectively here last month.
Prediction: 1st Bye Bye Now, 2nd Spirit Of Eagles, 3rd Shamanka
