In depth

Verdict

Ah Littleluck has some decent form to his credit at this level and was making his handicap debut when mid-division in a very tough event at Fairyhouse. Icantsay showed some potential over timber and arrives in form having won a point at Dromahane last week. Donegal Tuesday has also scored between the flags but so far shown little under Rules so this can go to EMILY ANNA. She put a poor debut behind here when, stepping up to 2m5f on fast going, she stayed on nicely at Tramore and this looks her trip. Shanaway and Even Though have a bit of improvement in them and look best of the remainder.
