In depth

Verdict

Fit For Function had slipped down the weights before scoring at Leopardstown and is straight back up 6lb. Barron's Lad was placed on his handicap debut at Cork and beat Aspar in a maiden before that. The latter has subsequently won a maiden race at Naas with Pick Of Any and Bubblesontherise well beaten while Midst has yet to threaten in handicaps. But INTENSE STYLIST was beaten less than a length in handicap company at Roscommon just four days ago and she looks to have every chance of opening her account in this.
