Verdict
Fox Le Bel is a 24-race maiden but has been placed regularly and this is a very poor-class handicap. FINNIANS ROW has had 18 starts without winning but has been doing a bit better in recent starts and might be good enough. Four Country Roads is perfectly capable of winning this but is just as likely to be pulled up while Aodhan May would probably win this on her penultimate head defeat at Down Royal but lost many lengths at the start on her next run here before refusing at the first fence.
