Jazzelle very nearly landed a Leopardstown handicap last month but an official rating of 49 gives her a mountain to climb. Sheila is the top-ranked here and almost won a similar race at Ballinrobe before well beaten in handicaps but Shimla Rolann won an all-weather handicap when trained in the UK and will be better for her debut for new connections at the Curragh. With her stable in top form and a handy weight, FLY GIRL can improve on her second place in a similar event at Leopardstown where she was staying on over that 7f.
