This looks tricky given Evil Spell is hard to assess on her form in Italy that included a Listed win over 6f. She debuts for Robert Cowell today while Priceless has her first start since scoring at Doncaster in September and is penalised 3lb. Buying Trouble won on her first two outings last year, both on the all-weather, but has shot-up the weights since despite not winning while Ostatnia makes the trip over from Ireland on the back of a fourth in similar company at Dundalk but seems to save her best for Tipperary. The saddle slipped on GLENROWAN ROSE (NAP) on her comeback at Musselburgh last week but she had shown good progress last season and a repeat of her second to Caspian Prince, rated 107, should see her go close in this. Iseemist could also go well on last month’s third to Kimberella.
