There's likely more to come from AN TAIBHSE on the back of her Kilbeggan maiden success 4 weeks ago and she's taken to follow up now handicapping. Annieguire could pose a threat if returning to the level of her penultimate Fairyhouse third, while Rebel Ivy shaped quite well on her Gowran handicap debut and could also have a say if turning up here rather than Tipperary.
