Verdict
AHIMSA was also engaged in the Group 3 that precedes this so the fact that she runs here from a mark of 78 suggests she's well in and can follow up last month's victory at Dundalk. Olfa has been raised 8lb for a convincing victory at Leopardstown and should make a bold bid to defy a big weight though runner-up Ondeafears, who is 5lb better off, should strip fitter as that was her first start since October. Boom To Bust showed that he didn't mind the ground with a good run here last time but a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Jouster, who has dropped to a very lenient mark and made a promising return over a trip too short at Navan.
