Verdict

A very low-grade handicap in which Court Jester is the only course and distance winner though he's been badly out of form. Miss Faithful has won once in 19 starts over timber and has never been the most consistent but she ran well at Wexford last time and is just 4lb higher than her victory at Tramore in December. She can get into the frame though DIESEL TEN finished in front of her at Wexford and, after a narrow defeat on the Flat at Leopardstown subsequently, can gain his first victory over timber. Percys Choice was a long way behind in that latter event while Old Storm makes his handicap debut with a big weight on just his fourth start over timber.
