Verdict
Fox Le Bel is the ultimate talking horse having started favourite on multiple occasions, including at Clonmel earlier this month, but failing to score. Peace Party is 2-32 with both victories coming on good going so he wouldn't want more rain. Hi Ski showed improved form in a Limerick maiden and wouldn't want much more while it's about time Bellaney Gem was winning again and he ran his best race for a while when sent to Catterick last month. PRESENTING MEGHAN has won here and with last month's debut run for the stable at Navan behind her can reward each-way support in a moderate handicap.
