Not shown enough on three starts to date to be of interest here and looks largely reliant on first-time cheekpieces working the oracle.

Improved for her debut when third at Listowel and ran to similar level at Limerick last time. Fair handicap mark for her handicap debut and should be thereabouts.

No match for the winner at Galway last week but performed well in defeat. Should be thereabouts off the same mark and won't mind the soft ground.

Fair effort behind Shifted Strategy last week at the Galway Festival but may struggle to turn the form around with that rival. Eye-catching jockey booking and not without each-way claims.

8/1
Improved to finish runner-up in a Leopardstown claimer last time out when just caught on the line. Needs to improve on that level of form to take a hand here though and yard have been a little quiet in recent weeks.

Not disgraced in a maiden last time at Fairyhouse having shown very little on first three starts. Possible the first-time tongue-tie could improve her and on a workable mark for handicap debut.

Well beaten on all three starts to date and disappointing at the Galway Festival last week. Looks up against it on all known form.

10/1
Shown nothing in three starts to date and needs to improve for the step up in trip. Yard capable of readying one and may be suited to softer conditions so can't be dismissed, particularly if there's any market support.

Virtually tailed off on each of her three starts and slowly away the last twice. Needs improvement to figure and likely to need more time.

Forecasts

Shifted Strategy (3/1), Big Bad Sal (10/3), Vicky Cristina (6/1), Reehaab (13/2), Ballot Box (8/1), Mister Magic (10/1), Rince Deireanach (12/1), Piper Bomb (16/1), Blood Red Sky (16/1), Taylor Velvet (20/1), Shecanrally (20/1), Premier League (33/1)

Verdict

VICKY CRISTINA looks on a workable mark for her handicap debut and has run shown ability on all three of her runs to date. Any market support for Mister Magic would be interesting on his handicap debut while Shifted Strategy performed with credit at Galway last week.
  1. Vicky Cristina
  2. Shifted Strategy
  3. Mister Magic
