      Verdict

      Three-year-olds have a decent record in this and can take it again via DALIYRA. Mick Halford's filly was receiving 5lbs from Vivacious Vivienne when a fast-finishing second to that in-form rival at Navan and is 7lbs better off today. Carefree Smile, who was a close third, is just held but another of the younger brigade, Shareen, looks a real threat. John Oxx' daughter of Bahri is improving fast and was well suited by stepping up to today's trip at Leopardstown. She's out of the handicap here but should still get competitive along with Harriers Call, who ran well behind Carraiglawn in a Listed contest at the Curragh last time.
