In depth
Verdict
Another low-grade handicap where there isn't much between top and bottom weights. TRIXIE MC is the only one arriving in form having finished a very good third at Kilbeggan and though still a maiden after 15 starts can finally get off the mark. Peace Party ran easily his best race of last season over this track and trip while Rachael Blackmore's presence suggests Londonofficecallin is expected to do better. Romella is 0-10 but has twice been placed at Thurles and could get involved if ready after a break.
