After landing a Limerick maiden in July, Finest contested Group 3 and Listed events where she only beat one home in three outings. This is a big drop in class and she could be thrown in despite being 2lb out of the handicap. Glow Worm has run some cracking races but never won in 27 starts and is better with some give, a remark that definitely applies to Colfer Key, who completed a sprint double on testing ground here in the autumn. IVA BATT makes a quick reappearance and her handicap debut after making most at Dundalk last week. She'd shown plenty of ability on Turf last season and can complete a quick double. Independent Missy is still looking a few pounds high and Miss Molly T has never raced over a trip this short.
