A maiden after four starts and handicap mark looks a little stiff on what she's achieved to date. Wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Well bred and produced a better effort last time when beaten only 2L at Leopardstown. Not ruled out on handicap debut with more progress likely.

Showed some promise in her first two starts but shaped as if amiss last time out at Bellewstown. Needs to improve to defy this mark on handicap debut.

Has run with promise on each of his three starts. Too keen last time at Listowel but still early days and a first-time visor may see him improve.

Produced a promising debut at Cork when third of 13 but hasn't built on that in two starts since. Drops back in trip and can't be ruled out.

Forecasts

Urban Light (7/4), Evasive Power (9/4), Cuban Surfer (11/4), Silver Service (7/2), Facethepuckout (11/2), Riding The Storm (10/1)

Verdict

EVASIVE POWER returned with a better effort last time and he may be capable of more improvement back at six furlongs here. Urban Light rates as the type to benefit from first-time headgear and Facethepuckout is another for the shortlist on handicap debut.
  1. Evasive Power
  2. Urban Light
  3. Facethepuckout
