Verdict
Oscar Invitation landed a maiden in good style before brought down early next time and is entitled to make progress as he hasn't had much experience. Mount Corkish Girl and I'm All You Need both landed maidens in good style last time though face much tougher tasks with their big weights and the former was beaten a long way by SOLITA in a bumper earlier. Paul Nolan's mare finished runner-up to today's rival Mrs Mac Veale at Wexford last time but is 10lb better off with Luke Dempsey's claim taken into consideration and she can reverse the form and take this. Cacheofgold is another to consider in a wide-open handicap.
