In depth
Verdict
Native Lass has only won once in 17 starts but hasn't been doing much wrong in handicaps and it will be a surprise if she's not in contention. CEREALICE has never won but has going well over hurdles with her latest run in a tough Listowel handicap her best so far. Winning hurdler Loupgarou showed promise over fences when runner-up at Tipperary but hasn't made the expected progress so the consistent Cantkidakidder looks more of a threat despite looking as though he needs further. The four-year-old filly Moonball gets all the allowances and won over hurdles at Tramore last month so she could go well at a fair price.
