In depth

Verdict

HELPMEOUT lost her maiden tag in a Leopardstown maiden and, though an 8lb rise makes this tougher, the third has come out and won subsequently so the form looks strong enough for this. New York Angel landed a Gowran handicap over this trip then found 7f too short on a return visit but Chestnutter has still to lose her maiden tag after nine starts and tackles this trip for the first time. Glandore Harbour only weakened close home at Killarney and makes her handicap debut off a fair mark.
