Verdict

Barndeh has had 29 starts without winning and even this moderate handicap may elude him as he is very one-paced. The handicapper hasn't been harsh in raising FOREST MINX just 2lbs for being beaten a short-head by Bay Swallow at Tramore and Francis Ennis' charge is probably a step ahead of the official at present. She can gain her first victory at the sixth time of asking and holds My Blue Heaven on an earlier Roscommon run. Duck Scary was racing off a 10lbs higher mark at this time a year ago and is generally not beaten too far but he's another long-time maiden who finds little at the business end.
