Verdict
Final Check arrives in top form but has an 8lb rise to contend with for her Punchestown victory where she was ridden by a 7lb claimer. Nostringsattached tries handicap company for the first time after her Curragh maiden victory but Spy's only victories in the UK came on fast ground and Tapeta. Dumb Love took advantage of heavy ground to win a Bellewstown maiden but Time To Boogie probably has more to offer and looks well enough treated though her maiden victory at Navan hasn't worked out. TEOREMA (NAP) didn't stay 1m4f at the Curragh but was beaten less than a length by Nostringsattached over this trip there earlier and with a slight pull in the weights can reverse the form and take this.
