Verdict
Happenstance scored over 7f at Dundalk in November but weakened over that trip on his reappearance last month when Bang Po was staying on at the finish. Secret Sauce was well supported when runner-up on heavy ground at Bellewstown but didn't go as well on quicker going at Tipperary so could do with more rain. NOT EVEN MAYBE showed her first sign of form at Tipperary where she didn't get the clearest of runs. She is 2lb out of the handicap but Jamie Powell's claim takes care of that and she can land this moderate handicap.
