Verdict
Emily Grey has won half of her eight starts over fences, including at Listed and Grade 3 level. She makes her handicap debut under a huge weight but should still get competitive. She was conceding Uranna 6lb when scoring narrowly at Fairyhouse whereas BONNY KATE beat the same horse a bit further off levels in a Grade 2 at Limerick so, in receipt of 12lb here, Noel Meade's mare should have the edge and can take this. Solita is 10lb higher than when completing a double at Fairyhouse but takes a step up in trip. UK raiders Centasia and Cresswell Breeze fought out the finish of a handicap at Warwick last month and there's little between them here.
