In depth

Verdict

The beautifully-bred Jigsaw has been very disappointing and has plenty to do under a big weight but Miss Snossyboots was making her handicap debut when a very good third at Naas so should improve. LESS OF THAT had looked a certain future winner when runner-up in big fields here and at Navan and was well supported at Naas. She gave trouble at the start and never really got going so she's given another chance here. Pronounced hasn't won in 14 starts and was well beaten when runner-up at Ballinrobe while stable companion Richard Strauss has produced his best form at Dundalk and won there in May. Level Of Intensity is lightly raced and looks the type to do better.
