In depth

Verdict

War Hero and Musalsal are carrying penalties for last week's victories and this looks very competitive. Colin Keane was on board when GATWICK KITTEN (NAP) finished with a real flourish at Navan last month after missing the break. Still a maiden after ten starts, this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark. Karlsberg made her handicap debut at the Curragh and was a bit unlucky not to finish closer so she's greatly respected while both Baby Power and Glow Worm have chances at this level. It's All A Joke has won here and found 7f beyond her at Down Royal on Saturday. Ardbrin was engaged at Ayr yesterday.
