Verdict

Lily's Star makes her handicap debut from a fair mark and hasn't been performing badly while Jumbo Steps had some decent juvenile form and would be a threat if fit enough after a long absence. DUNNE GRAND has a big weight to carry but is running well. Ger Lyons' filly has been placed in competitive handicaps here and at Sligo recently and her only success came from just a 1lb lower mark. She gets the vote to defy her weight though Eurosmart Lady may prove a difficult opponent as she produced her best effort for some time when third to Blue Law at Bellewstown on Friday.
