Verdict
EMILY SQUARE is still a maiden over hurdles but finished a close second at Fairyhouse in November and arrives in winning form having scored on the Flat at the Curragh in August. She's only five so has more to offer and looks capable of conceding 5lb to Bective Cave, though the latter returned to form at Downpatrick. Whereyounow makes his handicap debut after a much improved run in a Tramore maiden while Arctic Sofia has only had four runs over hurdles and shown some potential in her last two starts. Island Villa is 1-39 over hurdles but puts in the occasional good run and has dropped to such a lowly mark that it wouldn't be a shock if he reached the frame. Wild Desire won here in June and has continued to run with credit so could be the one to shake-up the selection.
