In depth
Verdict
This is a very low-grade contest and the market should be monitored. Taboo has improved since tackling softer ground and should get into the action from her lowly spot in the handicap though she was behind GABRIELLEAMEE at Wexford last time and there's no apparent reason for a reversal so the latter gets the nod. Town Pond is 6lb lower than his only victory in March of last year but Line View, who had been in reasonable form during the summer, pulled up between the flags last month. Paudi The Punter has a strike-rate of 2-53 but has run well here in the past and could snatch a place.
