In depth

Verdict

Dual Dundalk winner Calling Time was making her handicap debut on Turf when scoring over 7f at Roscommon and has no problems with the longer trip. She's 6lb higher but should be thereabouts. Tracing has been disappointing and never really looked like winning at Bellewstown a couple of weeks ago but IMPOSING SUPREME (NAP) returned to form at Tipperary and can lose his maiden tag. Twice runner-up at Dundalk in November, he looked like winning in that 1m1f handicap but was run out of it close home by Muntahez. Njord went up 9lb for a comfortable Gowran victory but has been dropped 2lb after running well under a big weight at Navan so should get into contention. A Step Too Far has been running well enough though has done better over shorter but Alice Milligan ran easily her best race to date at Naas on her handicap debut so there should be more to come.
