Most can be given a chance though it was testing going when Synopsis scored over 2m2f here back in March. Chisholm Trail and Red Pearl have won maiden hurdles and the former goes handicapping for the first time while Rain In Spain went close at Punchestown last time but this looks a more difficult task. Our Rachael, Lady Of The Sea and LILY TROTTER were all placed on their latest starts but the latter finished clear of the rest when beaten less than a length at Limerick and Ed McNamara’s mare gets a speculative vote to come good in this.
