In depth

Verdict

AN TAIBHSE has improved with each run and always looked to have things in hand when landing a Kilbeggan maiden. There's more to come and an opening mark of 104 could prove lenient. Rebel Ivy made her handicap debut over this trip in heavy ground at Gowran in March and only weakened on the run-in. She should make further progress and get involved while Annieguire has only had six starts under Rules and may have found the ground too quick at KIlbeggan last time. April's Moon has run her best races over this trip and didn't appear to stay 3m at Tipperary.
