Verdict
MISS MYERS could be some value here as she was in good form for much of last summer before scoring over the course and distance. Well beaten in the Lincoln at the Curragh and at Cork next time, she's 1lb lower than her victory and gets a tentative vote. Rosscarbery is an obvious threat having won with plenty in hand over a mile at Dundalk and just 2lb higher while Khezaana won a Ladies' Handicap at the Curragh before a very good run in a Premier handicap at Leopardstown. Down Royal winner Sheishybrid made an encouraging reappearance at Navan and Simply Glorious had a bit in hand at Leopardstown so a 5lb rise looks manageable. Startedwithakiss is another with a chance in an open handicap.
