Verdict
Discretion was winning over longer trips last year while Prenup has scored over today’s trip on the all-weather and Dundalk winner Dynamite Katie has switched yards. Ludmilla and Ellexis have recent runs under their belts and make their handicap debuts along with EXIMIOUS. The latter struggled in a Group 2 when last in action but won a maiden at Salisbury on fast ground earlier and is taken to make a winning return with the Varian yard in such good form.
