Verdict

Heir of Excitement has had a short break and changed stables since runner-up in a Sligo claimer though has never been placed on this surface. Al Batal is 0-18 and was beaten in a Laytown claimer last time but Fascinating Spirit produced her best run to date over the track and trip last month and wouldn't need much more to get into contention. Mulzamm is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and had some strong form here last winter so enters calculations but was behind MUNAAJAAT when the latter just failed to hold off Farnese here a fortnight ago - Joseph O'Brien's filly can go one better and lose her maiden tag.
