Verdict

Brave Display has won twice around here though is best over 6f these days while recent dual winner Affable is having her 16th start and her first over the minimum trip. Provocateuse looked a real speed merchant when scoring at Bellewstown but had earlier been beaten around three lengths by YOUNG ANGEL at Listowel and it's Dermot Weld's charge who can make a winning handicap debut. Amazing Emma got back on the winning trail at Navan though an 8lb rise makes this tougher.
