Verdict
Most of these are out of form though not DUBAI RAINBOW, who followed a narrow defeat at Navan by landing a maiden claimer here in good style. She makes her handicap debut but has plenty of scope and can make a successful start. Ancestral had looked a likely future winner after two good runs in September but first-time blinkers didn't work at Fairyhouse and they are left off here. Descendant was a 50/1 chance when a very close third behind Luna's Luck last time where he was staying on very strongly over that 7f so must have a chance over the extra. Proud And Elated has yet to win but has rarely been beaten far in this sort of company and can reach a place.
