GOLD MIRAGE is still a maiden but hasn't had much racing and will surely be winning soon judged on her run behind Norah Starr at Sligo. This may not take as much winning and she can take this for her in-form yard. Dermot Weld won this a year ago and the lightly-raced Late Day Sun could be just the type for this as she's been fading over longer trips. Leaves You Baby landed a moderate maiden at Roscommon but is probably improving and has run well from similar handicap marks in the past. Puzzled has been finding 1m4f beyond her and makes her handicap debut from what looks a decent mark.
