Verdict

Fox Leicester arrives with a penalty for landing a claimer at Dundalk on Wednesday and this looks much tougher. Miss Florentine is the only course winner and she won three times last summer. Drying conditions would greatly aid her cause and her rider's 7lb claim is a massive bonus. JAAFEL's four runs have all been on Polytrack and his two narrow defeats under an apprentice at Dundalk give him a fine chance of getting off the mark with Colin Keane taking over the reins. Petticoat Rule won twice and was placed five times in her last seven starts last summer while the lightly-raced Princess Sela looks one to follow this season having got off the mark in a Gowran handicap last May.
