Verdict

Sunset Beauty takes a drop in trip after being beaten 10 lengths into second over 1m2f at Sligo and can make her mark on her handicap debut. Philosophers Guest has won once in 25 starts but almost doubled her tally at Bellewstown last time where she was caught close home over a mile. Ibelieveinmiracles is still a maiden after 30 races but has slipped to a very lenient mark as a consequence and isn't without a chance. Johnny Murtagh is the only jockey to have won on Knights Templar so his presence in the saddle is a plus but it's about time BUBBLY BELLINI, who has won five times on Polytrack, was scoring on turf and he is edging close to that first success judging on recent efforts.
