In depth

Verdict

Bumbasina has beaten a couple of decent performers for her two victories and a mark of 93 may prove to be lenient on her handicap debut. Lady Derrynane won nicely at Cork and went up 14lb then appeared to find 1m2f stretching her stamina on this track. MUJAAZY is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having landed a maiden in August. She's the type to do even better in her second campaign and can land this before going on to better things. Elusive Beauty makes a quick reappearance after finishing last of four at Gowran on Tuesday while Constant Comment is another with a quick return after coming with a late run to score over 7f at Naas a week ago. Magen's Moon would be difficult to beat if the going turns soft as she ran a fine race after a break in similar conditions at Killarney.
