Verdict
Festina Plente has only won on the all-weather but has gone very close the last twice. She could have done without a 4lb rise and SUAIMHNEACH may have her measure. Jim Bolger's filly made her handicap debut at Leopardstown and came from well off the pace to snatch the spoils. Minnie Haha has never won but has still been raised 3lb for her neck defeat by Koybig at Killarney, though Tom Madden's claim will help. Scream hasn't been at her best but the assessor has given her a chance with a 2lb drop in the ratings.
