Verdict

THREE BELLS just sneaks into this handicap and if able to show slight improvement from his run at Bellewstown last month then he's the one to be on as that was his first start since November. California Rose completed a double in July and went up 9lb as a consequence though that shouldn't have been the reason for a poor run at Tipperary last month and blinkers are applied. Red Sea Poll stepped up to this trip for the first time at Tipperary and ran her best race to date. She's still a maiden but can run from the same mark and looks a threat. Vasoni has been running quite well but she's gone even longer without winning as has Cookie Crumbles, who can't go much lower in the ratings and ran well in a big field at Naas last time.
