Point Zero makes his handicap debut after three maiden runs and looks to have enough weight. Rince Deireanach has been racing over much further and her best form has been on heavy ground but So Enjoy has been running well on quick going from this mark and looks certain to get involved again. However, she finished behind HEY PRETTY (NAP) over 7f here a couple of weeks ago and the latter ran well again at Cork on Sunday so looks the one to beat. Golden Footsteps showed ability in the UK last summer and Jessica Harrington will be getting a race out of her before long and Tom Madden is one of the more experienced riders in the race.
