Verdict
A low-grade handicap but TA NA LA (NAP) looks one of the few with scope having made steady progress this season with her recent narrow defeat at Cork her best run to date. Spirituoso has been narrowly beaten from a 2lb lower mark in her last three starts while Chimeric makes a quick reappearance after finishing third at Gowran on Wednesday, though he's now 0-24. Winning hurdler Marvel Fan is at the right end of the handicap and capable of a big run if ready after a break while Gracesolution didn't handle soft conditions at Sligo after completing a double on good ground.
