Verdict
MUILEATA made a satisfactory reappearance in a handicap at Tipperary. She showed promise over this shorter trip last season and can open her account here at the main expense of Champagne Or Water, who has been placed in all three starts but has been kept to sprint distance so far this year. Cultured Lady has a chance on last season's form but Nieve looks as though she'll need more time.
