Verdict

PIECE D'OR looked a certain future winner when she fell at the last while in the lead at Limerick last October but she's been lightly raced subsequently. This isn't the toughest of maidens and, if back to that sort of form, she can gain her first victory. King Blue hasn't been particularly consistent so far but would have to be considered on the best of his form while Ram Them All looks ready to score soon after his best run to date at Down Royal behind the odds-on Clondaw Farmer. Mille Le Bach would have no trouble winning this on her close second to Indian Fairy at Tramore but faded away tamely on her most recent start over this trip at Kilbeggan and is overlooked.
