Verdict
A very low-grade handicap in which the market may prove the best guide. Storm Flight hasn't run badly the last twice and Conor Orr's claim is a bonus while Withallduerespect should have more to offer after just four starts. Courting Vickie didn't run badly on her handicap debut at Listowel while THE DREAMS ALIVE attracted support on her handicap bow and first start for Tom Foley at Wexford. She showed some promise that day which may be enough to gain her first victory on just her sixth start. Moonlight Glory found 2m4f too far at Listowel and can get into contention with her rider's claim to aid her cause.
