In depth
Verdict
A low-grade handicap. Patrick Street suffered a narrow defeat by Asisaid on heavy ground at Leopardstown though he's never been the most consistent and the winner finished last at Gowran on Tuesday. Pallasmore Lass was twice beaten narrowly over the 7f straight course here last May though she generally needs her first run back. Skontonovski has won around here but stablemate Leclerc has only scored at Dundalk. Drying ground could enable SONDHEIM (NAP) to get home. A winner over 7f here and that trip at Dundalk, he'll be better for a run on the latter track in February and Neve Bennett's claim is a bonus.
