This looks a very tight handicap. Glassatura steps up to this trip for the first time and was staying on over a mile at Gowran last time. Tsundoku ran her best race to date on heavy going so conditions won't be in her favour but Witty Repartee looked in good form on fast ground when third over a mile here last week and the longer trip should suit. Focas Mor has never won in 17 starts while Greanta and Annagh Haven aren't running quite well enough so that leaves WHEN IN DOUBT. Ger Lyons' lightly-raced French import was having just her second start for the yard when finding 1m4f and testing ground against her at Roscommon after looking like the winner at this trip so she's taken to gain her first success for the yard.
