Verdict

Ros Brin went up 10lb for her success at Fairyhouse but that didn't bother her as she scored comfortably here two weeks ago. Another 9lb rise in this tougher event will make things difficult, however, while A Country Girl will find this much harder after her maiden success at Tramore. Snow Spell also landed a maiden last time and faces a stiff task on her handicap debut. CATLEEN was having her 16th start over hurdles when comfortably accounting for Rockers Field at Limerick. She's been raised 9lb but can go in again, though Espresso Lady doesn't look badly treated on her handicap debut and Narima will have come on for her run behind Paco Jack at Punchestown last month.
