Verdict

Another tricky handicap for punters to unravel. The three-year-old Feis Ceoil is expected to go well on her handicap debut after easily accounting for subsequent winner Ice Empress at Naas and this trip looks her optimum. Roicead was a disappointment at Leopardstown after landing his maiden ar Roscommon in good style but can do better while at the other end of the experience scale Dafaroun returned after a long absence to score here last May so the fact that he hasn't run since October may not be too much of a problem. Slapper continues to perform with credit over this trip and can get involved but LEGENDARY LAD gets the vote to prove his run here in May all wrong. Dermot Weld's charge was inconvenienced by the very fast ground that day and he had looked a very progressive type when scoring easily at Cork on his previous start.
