Verdict
This is a very low-grade handicap with few in any kind of form. Initially showed some ability for Charlie Hills in the UK and made a very encouraging debut for Tracey Collins at the Curragh so it will be a surprise if she can't go higher than this in the ratings. LABURNUM PARK is 0-10 but has been very unfortunate not to have lost his maiden tag having been narrowly beaten in his last two starts. He could have done without going up 3lb for a nose defeat at Killarney but will take some beating. Vocal Experience was staying on over 7f at Gowran while Song Of The Sky has won on soft ground so further rain would greatly aid her cause.
