In depth

Verdict

IMPERIAL CHOICE overturned an earlier defeat by Elegant Lass with a smooth victory at Tramore on Saturday. She has a 5lb penalty to carry but looks capable of completing a quick double. Dawson's Cottage was having only his sixth start when landing a Kilbeggan handicap last month and there should be more to come though an 8lb rise makes this tougher. Majority Share makes her handicap debut from a very lowly mark but Saol Iontach was well beaten by Dawson's Cottage at Kilbeggan though did run much better at Downpatrick last week.
