Verdict

Red Wasp is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and she got no sort of run on a return visit last month. Baby Rosabella was also impeded on the same card when making her handicap debut but Fine Distraction, though showing his best form for a long time at Navan last time, is 0-30. Another maiden, KILONOVA, started out this season on an 8lb higher mark and looked ready to win soon when runner-up at Bellewstown three weeks ago so looks the one to beat. Empress Of Bough led for a long way in a 7f Fairyhouse maiden and makes her handicap debut.
