Verdict

Jazzelle won this last year from just 1lb lower and finished runner-up on a return visit a month later but recent form has been poor. Maricruz is also a course and distance winner and has dropped to a winnable mark while the maiden Men Of Dreams was staying on over a mile at Killarney. Sierra Nevada made a promising handicap debut at Leopardstown, staying on when the race was all over, but it's about time LILY OF THE GLEN was losing her maiden tag. Lee Smyth's mare was raised 7lb for finishing second at Gowran and made a bold bid to defy the extra on a return visit. Tashim is 0-14 and hasn't proved he stays this far.
