Verdict
One favourite has won this in the past ten years. Stonesinmypocket is likely to be near the head of the market as though he's been racing over fences he's making his handicap debut over timber from a lowly mark. PINK GODDESS has won once in 23 starts over timber, over this track and trip a year ago from just 2lb lower. She hasn't been running badly and is given the nod to double her tally. Dashing Lady showed her first sign of form over hurdles behind Green Thirty Two at Ballinrobe and can get involved while Glen Orchy Lad, a winning bumper on this track, ran his best race so far over timber at Cork last week.
