VISCHIO opened her account at Kilbeggan in July and was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot in her follow-up bid at Sligo, so this progressive 4yo is worth a chance to resume winning ways in a race that lacks depth. Trenchtown Rock is a danger if in the same form as last time and Batalha is a notable handicap debutant from a mark that looks lenient based on Flat form.
