In depth
Verdict
Very little form to go on here and the market may prove a good guide. Mary Fields gets in with bottom weight and the winning point-to-pointer is respected along with another winner between the flags, Slainte And Thanks. LORD BORU is a ten-year-old maiden but a couple of placed efforts last season puts him in the frame for this and providing he's ready after a break he can get off the mark. Shannon Fields has a big weight for his handicap debut but should be suited by stepping up from the minimum trip for the first time.
