Verdict
Blaze Brightly would easily be the pick on last season's form and she should strip fitter for her effort in a tough handicap at Gowran last month. However, she's vulnerable to an improver and SPELTERINI, a head runner-up to Shareen at Killarney, fits the bill. Lake Worth was a disappointing favourite behind Zayaan at Naas but his earlier form would make him difficult to beat and Councilofconstance did nothing wrong on her debut behind Crazy Days at Navan.
