This looks wide open but if last month's Down Royal effort was a sign of a corner having been turned then INDY ISLAND should have a decent chance of making a winning handicap bow. That was a much-improved effort and she should handle the step up in trip without too many problems. The Green Lady also confirmed the promise of her earlier efforts when scoring a maiden success over a longer trip at Punchestown recently and should be able to build on it. Court Challenge hasn't exactly been consistent but her run at Ffos Las in December makes plenty appeal for her hopes coming here. Handicap debutant Pahaska is worth a look in the betting while Hide The Biscuit could also do better on first start over flights for this trainer having scored in a point-to-point when last spotted. 1. Indy Island 2. The Green Lady 3. Court Challenge
