This looks destined for VARIO, who was thrown in at the deep end on her debut in September when tackling Listed company at Leopardstown. It's a concern that she hasn't been seen subsequently but the fact that she finished less than three lengths off the winner suggests she should have no problems against mainly disappointing types. Woodland Garden comes into that latter category as the daughter of Galileo looked very moderate at Naas though quicker ground may eke out some improvement. Haziya and Climate are well connected fillies who could do with a victory for the paddocks but will need to improve.
