Verdict
Tajseer made a bright start at Ayr in February but ran a shocker at Leopardstown a couple of weeks later and hasn't been seen since. The four-year-old filly WHIZZZEY RASCAL gets plenty of allowances and has shown there is a race of this nature in her with two promising efforts so she looks the one to be on. Rose Of Ratheniska didn't show much between the flags but wasn't beaten far on her bumper debut at Kilbeggan and has to be considered along with Shanklys Dawn, who battled on behind Pearl Diamond at Tramore.
