This is a low-grade handicap with little form to go on though the latest run of FANNY BLANKERS (NAP) when a staying-on fifth in a big field over slightly shorter at Navan suggests she'll take some beating. Pleasurable occupied the same position at Cork though that was over an extended mile while Espirit D'Escalier hasn't run since third in a Dundalk maiden in November. Trueba ran well at Navan on Saturday and would have to enter the equation if getting a run from his reserve spot while Cozy Sky is a possible improver.
