Verdict

Liffey View has been in very good form and though not beaten far over 1m2f on her last two starts is probably better over tonight's mile and is likely to be there at the finish. Donnacha O'Brien was on board when LOVE LETTER (NAP) was narrowly beaten at Navan on her handicap debut. She has plenty of scope and looks the one to be on here. Baby Dinnis scored at Dundalk in April and ran well despite a 7lb rise back there last month so she's entitled to respect from the same mark while the lightly-raced Firecrown is one to note on her handicap debut after showing a glimmer of ability.
