Verdict
Nicotina has won half-a-dozen times in Italy on ground with plenty of give. Ciankyle makes a quick reappearance after failing to justify favouritism at Dundalk last weekend, though he wasn't beaten far, but this can go to TAMISA. She's yet to win a race, including over hurdles during the winter, but her latest run over an inadequate 6f at Limerick suggests she can take this off a mark of 47 and she easily holds Athloman Cottage on that run. Beechmount Whisper has a big weight but has to be a threat on his battling success on heavy going at Leopardstown and he wasn't far behind the in-form Tribal Path on his reappearance.
