In depth
Verdict
Private Party stayed on strongly to score over a mile here in September then faded after attempting to make all over the trip on soft ground at Leopardstown from an 11lb higher mark. The lightly-raced Whip Up Frenzy was in front of him in that latter race but the shorter trip may aid Jessica Harrington's charge. ARBOURFIELD dead-heated with Whip Up Frenzy when they were placed over the track and trip a month ago. The former can come out best this time and take this as Rest Assured, who was behind, looks held. Dermot Weld's Dram Girl has had three moderate runs in maidens and starts off in handicaps on a lowly mark so she should be noted in the betting.
