In depth

Verdict

SHONA MEA made a successful handicap debut at Gowran last month and very nearly made all at Limerick despite a 9lb rise. She's up another 2lb but it will be a surprise if she's not involved. Miss Cunning, a dual winner at Dundalk, has yet to reach a place in five starts on Turf but Scholastic arrives in winning form and carries a 6lb penalty for last week's Limerick success. Take My Hand has been improving with every run and though up 6lb for last week's victory over 6f here is greatly respected while Ivy Avenue stayed on nicely on her handicap debut at Gowran.
