Verdict
ANGELIC APPEAL was making her handicap debut when scoring at the Curragh last month and, though 7lb higher, has the scope to go on to better things. You Owe Me Money completed a Gowran hat-trick in the spring though could just need this to put an edge on her but Everylittlestep just failed to complete a four-timer at the Curragh and Colin Keane, who rode her to a hat-trick of victories, is back on board. Star Galaxy and Bambeano are others to consider in a wide-open handicap, though it's the progressive Leopardstown winner Celebrating Ethel who could provide the main threat.
