Verdict
Annie Fior gained a shock victory from a long way out of the handicap at Leopardstown on Saturday and comes here with a penalty. If that was no fluke she's an obvious contender from her correct mark though she was beaten comfortably by NISIOR DONN at Dundalk in February and is no better off. The winner was scoring for the second time on that track but has form on Turf and looks certain to get into contention so looks the safest option. Mulzamm is very consistent but doesn't win often and is 10lb higher than his winning mark at Dundalk last month. Solomons Seal is only 3lb higher than his victory on testing ground here in October so has to be respected while Eacharn has been going well at Dundalk and reverts to Turf on a lower mark.
