Verdict

Betty Loch got off the mark last time out at Dundalk on the AW and has shown enough previously on turf to ensure she's respected off this rating in a handicap now. Sorelle Delle Rose is not far off landing a blow for the in-form Weld team while Dandys Gold is a player on form but to answer questions on this likely testing surface. Maysonette looks capable of a say now stepping out in a handicap for the first time but TWIST OF MAGIC twice ran well over this trip on soft ground at Galway and Roscommon before disappointing over 6f at Navan four days ago. Back up in trip and with the ground to suit, she should be on the premises.
