Twice finished runner-up in 2017 including when sent off favourite over an extended 1m3f at Limerick (good) a month ago. Rated 3lb higher than when successful at Navan last October and likely to run well again today.

Recorded a Dundalk double over 1m4f earlier this year and finished twice over the same C&D since. Most recent of those efforts came off this mark in March and worth a check in the market today.

Followed up a Flat win over C&D with a chase success at Killarney last summer. Two most recent efforts have come over hurdles and making her seasonal debut from out of the handicap here.

Forecasts

Zamira (2/1), Sister Blandina (5/2), Nanabad (5/1), Duchessofflorence (13/2), Lilly The Lioness (10/1), Papal Parade (10/1)

Verdict

SISTER BLANDINA can gain a deserved first success of 2017 by taking this competitive looking fillies contest. The selection has finished twice already this season and has a leading jockey booked to ride today. Zamira's maiden win last time out has seen her given a hefty hike by the handicapper but she looks capable of finishing runner-up in this contest ahead of Duchessofflorence who is another to have run well so far this year.
  1. Sister Blandina
  2. Zamira
  3. Duchessofflorence
