Verdict
Signora Bellissima made all in a course and distance handicap on heavy ground but didn't appear to act on quicker going at Naas. Timeless Piece is up 9lb for her Gowran success and didn't get the clearest of runs on her previous start behind Apprentice at Tipperary. The winner is out of the handicap here but that was a major breakthrough and she has to be respected. Red Trail ended last season with a double but didn't show much over hurdles during the winter so the vote goes to NOSTRINGSATTACHED. She was having only her fourth start when runner-up at Limerick last month and can make a successful handicap debut from what looks a fair mark. Hazy Mehmory has a big weight for her reappearance but should be winning again soon.
