In depth
Verdict
Nisior Donn led for a long way on her handicap debut over a mile at Gowran and can go well at a fair price. Ice Storm was returning from a long break when just held over a mile at Listowel and looks certain to get into the action as does INVINCIBLE QUEEN. Mark Fahey's filly couldn't get close enough to the in-form Pedisnap at Navan but is only 1lb higher and can go one better. Feisty Katerina has yet to win but made a bold bid to make all at Leopardstown where she only succumbed close home. Clonville makes a quick reappearance after a decent effort over slightly shorter at Limerick on Saturday though she's 7lb higher than her victory at Gowran earlier. Goodnite Irina may do best of the remainder.
