        Verdict

        Fire Fly stepped up to this trip for the first time in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and wasn't beaten far. This is a drop in class for her handicap debut and a big run is expected. She had LADY WANNABE 4l behind that day but the latter has a massive pull in the weights and should have few problems reversing the form. I Remember You has also been performing at Group 3 level without showing she's up to that class while Lafayette Hill was well beaten into second at Killarney after racing in Dundalk handicaps. Viadera was returning from a long break when well beaten on her reappearance but should do better.
