Verdict
This looks a moderate maiden and FOR THE TREES has the best form of those with experience, staying on over the minimum at Dundalk and Cork. She'll be suited by the extra furlong and should prove difficult to beat. Bigz Belief made a promising debut at Fairyhouse but didn't enjoy 7f on soft ground at Roscommon so should do better while Falvetti should improve for his debut over 7f here. Brunelle is by Kodiac out of a middle-distance winner so may need further but Crassus, a half-brother to six winners, hails from a yard going well and could make his mark.
