Verdict
True Destiny is the only course winner having scored comfortably from 5lb higher in October. Florey Spud has failed to win in 15 starts while Will You Win was having her 26th start when losing her maiden tag at Clonmel and that was on heavy ground. But she's since performed with credit in a Downpatrick handicap so should be thereabouts. General Clermont is still a maiden after 27 starts and has been beaten off this mark the last twice but Shark Hanlon's yard has struck form and LATEST MODEL, who appeared to find an extended 2m5f stretching her stamina at Downpatrick, can continue the yard's good run over this more suitable trip. Wild Caprice would have to be considered if getting a run from her reserve spot. Double Jubilee was engaged in the 6.18 at Roscommon last night.
