In depth

Verdict

Soineanta has had 14 starts in maiden company and makes her handicap debut under a big weight. The Cola Kid showed potential on the all-weather in the UK and was having only his third start for new connections when springing a surprise at Cork. There should be more to come but Unconcious Mind was beaten in a Fairyhouse claimer and will need to do better. Accessory, beaten narrowly at Dundalk, appeared to find a mile on soft ground against him at Thurles on Thursday but IS THAT LOVE has run well in three starts in recent weeks following a long break so can get off the mark.
