Verdict
None of these inspire much confidence and only a token vote goes to handicap debutante JET STREAMING. She steps up in trip having been beaten less than a length over 7f at Naas last month - the winner and fourth-placed horse have both won a handicap since. Nutcracker Suite failed to figure back in handicap company at Limerick last week and gets first-time blinkers while Cleona has struggled badly so far this year. Noble Intention may do better returning to today’s trip after a couple of modest efforts over 1m2f.
