In depth

Verdict

Soaring Monarch was making his handicap debut when staying on strongly behind Talking Tough over 7f here earlier this week for which he's been raised 7lb. The winner has gone up 11lb but neither will be inconvenienced by stepping up in trip and there shouldn't be much between them. Magic Chegaga has only had three starts and makes her handicap debut after a promising run over 1m2f at Leopardstown and looks on a fair mark. Next In Line had shown little in maidens before making most on her handicap debut at Gowran. She was fitted with blinkers that day and if they work again she should make a bold bid to complete a double. ZOOM ZOOM BABE led 1f out at Killarney but was caught close home by the in-form Star Of Cashel. She's up 3lb but can go one better though the progressive Call Me Rocky made most and battled on strongly at Limerick.
