Verdict

Sikara landed a maiden over a mile here a couple of weeks ago and looks certain to be suited by this longer trip. However, the runner-up was well beaten next time and RED SHAHEEN may have her measure. Paul Deegan's charge has run three times over inadequate trips and makes his handicap debut from what could prove to be a fair mark. He can take this under Willie Supple though, as a daughter of Montjeu, Late Day Sun, who battled to victory in a mile fillies' maiden here in October, will certainly be suited by today's trip. Nucals Star makes his Polytrack debut and could only stay on at one pace when returning to action at Limerick but Flavia Tatiana returns to her best trip after failing to fire over a mile at Leopardstown on Sunday.
