Verdict

Laviniad had been building towards a first victory and lost her maiden tag in good style at Cork a week ago for which she's been raised 7lb. FISCAL FOCUS (NAP) won a maiden over the track and trip on heavy ground in April and landed a conditions event at Killarney in August. Conditions will suit here and he looks well enough treated to complete a double though stablemate Club Wexford has had a very light campaign and has also won on this track. Vector Force has never encountered soft going and it remains to be seen how he handles it though his overall form gives him an obvious chance. Illusive won over a slightly longer trip here in August and will have found the going much too fast at Tipperary last time.
