Verdict
RATEEL had been steadily improving after arriving from the UK before a battling victory over an extra furlong here last month where he just held on. He's been raised 3lb but Donnagh O'Connor's claim can help see him complete a double. Midnitemudcrabs had shown potential for Marco Botti and landed a maiden for new connections here last month - he can only improve. La Fleur De Force didn't enjoy testing conditions at the Curragh earlier this month but her two runs here in November put her in the frame. She's 7lb better off with Victorious Secret for a narrow defeat here in November and can take her revenge on Tommy Stack's filly. Flowerhill Nova has potential though makes her handicap debut with a big weight but The Chazz won a 6f nursery here in November and is only 2lb higher. The latter's stable companion Paytheprice won over the minimum here in November but had previously run well over this trip while Fair Game, who makes her debut on the surface, has shown good speed on Turf.
