A few disappointing types here including Ninth Life, whose best runs have come at Dundalk. Nostringsattached was put in her place when conceding weight to a three-year-old filly last time and that could be the case here. NEW PHENOMENON (NAP) was beaten less than a length here in June and was impeded at a crucial stage at the Curragh last month. She can make amends as Quantum Light has been beaten in three runs in handicaps since arriving from the UK. The selection's stablemate Spirit Of Paradise is a potential improver who can get competitive.
