In depth

Verdict

A low-class handicap in which almost all of these have run on the track without winning. INTERNATIONAL LADY had a couple of runs here after joining Kevin Smith from Richard Fahey and performed with credit but she showed massive improvement when sent to Cork next time and can defy a 9lb rise. Medway only showed moderate form in the UK but did much better on her debut for Joseph O'Brien over the track and trip last month and rates a threat. Taylored was behind the selection here in January but started favourite that day so better will be expected after a break. Ablah, the only course winner in the line-up, is first reserve but would have to be respected if getting a run.
