Verdict

PIXIE SPIRIT is a frustrating filly who has yet to win but she's rarely beaten far and this could be her day. She's a massive 13lb better off with Chillie Billie for a 2l defeat at Navan last month and though Ana O'Brien may have to put up a couple of pounds overweight this looks a good opportunity to grab her first victory. Oor Jock is well handicapped but one victory in 34 starts is a poor return and he was behind Above The Law, Chillie Billie and Lily's Prince at Navan last time. The latter finished very strongly and looks the main threat as Big Bad Lily was behind and looks held and Enter The Red is 7lb higher than his only victory to date.
