Dermot Weld was unable to conjure up a victory out of HEARTFUL last season and she was a big disappointment on her final start here in November. However, this looks a good opportunity to enhance her paddock value and she's given the nod. Teagan Angel has been threatening to win for some time and hasn't been beaten far in course and distance handicaps on her last two starts while White Lotus showed a glimmer of potential at Leopardstown in August and again over this track and trip last month.
