Verdict
A low-grade handicap in which the majority arrive out of form and the betting could provide the best clues. CHEVANAH is handed the vote after a process of elimination as she hasn't been running badly on Polytrack since arriving from the UK and Joseph O'Brien's is a positive booking. Doublebarreljimmy made a fair handicap debut at Tipperary though that was over 5f while Jamming, who has shown some potential, is blinkered for the first time and takes a big drop in distance. The Kernigal's best form has been on Polytrack while Tohugo ran well on soft ground at Navan last month before a moderate effort on Polytrack.
