None of this bunch inspire confidence with a token vote going to SPEIRLING on his handicap debut. The latter finished fourth at Galway last time and the runner-up has subsequently won. Yeats Mardy is another likely to improve now handicapping for the first time and the same comment applies to Varkhann while Rain In Spain is better than last month’s comeback run at Limerick suggests. Subset is also unexposed and another to note representing Joseph O’Brien.
