This is a low-grade handicap in which just one favourite has won in 10 years. Andy Oliver has won the last two with Chris Hayes riding and the combination have Pretty Love this time, though she's shown nothing since her Debut at Dundalk. Cenotaph made a reasonable handicap debut at the Curragh and this is a slight drop in grade but this looks just right for TADAANY. He's had the requisite three runs to obtain a handicap mark and with further progress likely from his run at Fairyhouse earlier this month he'll be spot-on. Vitalized hasn't run since October but returns to action on a fair mark while Sauanna Belle is rarely beaten far and has dropped 9lb since her opening run of the campaign.
