Verdict
Drifting Back finished first past the post in a Ballinrobe maiden in August but was disqualified for a prohibited substance. He's probably capable of better but Corey Lord's second place at Wexford came in a very poor maiden. SHES SOME DOLL won a 2m3f Limerick maiden on heavy ground in December and looked on the way back when a close fourth at Downpatrick three weeks ago. She looks the one to beat in this poor contest though Justbecool has shown enough to make his presence felt.
