Verdict

Timia was only just beaten in a handicap here in January and two recent runs on Turf will have put her spot-on for this. Bouquet Garni is 0-17 but wasn't beaten far in her only two starts here in November. Eadaoins Pet ran quite well on her only start on this track but was behind MOHAYYEN at Bellewstown last month. The winner has returned from a very long break in excellent form and with just 6lb extra to contend with he can gain his first all-weather victory. The remainder have little going for them though Shelbe might be a threat if getting a run from her reserve spot.
