In depth

Verdict

Kasbah has been going well in Dundalk claimers and has changed stables but MISS JABEAM, a winner there in November, made a very pleasing reappearance on a return visit last month when staying on nicely over the minimum. She's only up 1lb so gets the nod in a tricky finale in which Fridtjof Nansen would have to be considered on the balance of last season's form in maidens and has changed stables. Blairmayne looks a major threat as he made a successful reappearance here a year ago and ran well in several tough handicaps later in the campaign. Premier League ended last season prematurely after landing a Galway handicap in June and will be better for his run here last month.
