Verdict
Something of a minefield with most turning up having not displayed form of real substance. However, exceptions are Pepsiwithacap and Decorated Guest, with Colin Keane a noted booking for the latter. Both scored at Dundalk in the winter and both haven't shaped badly on sole runs since. The latter is preferred of the pair but the choice is STEPS IN THE SAND, who had shown little until a much better run on just a fifth start last time when fourth at Roscommon and would have been much closer but for encountering much trouble in running. She stays well and deserves another chance. Komedy Kicks and Deceit need a market check on handicap debuts for the pair.
