Verdict

Fields Of May has only raced at 7f to date but has plenty of pace and isn't too badly treated at her best. Her trainer also runs Vitalized, who makes her handicap debut from a lowly spot in the handicap and has shown enough to suggest she can get competitive. The latter is closely matched with Puck Fair on their 1-2 at Leopardstown in August while Sors had Ostatnia and Red Ivy close up when scoring at Dundalk before finishing down the field in the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar and any one of that trio could get involved in the finish. ASK ME NICELY has run some decent races in strong maidens and isn't badly treated on a mark of 83. Ana O'Brien has been riding winners and her claim can see her mount gain her first success.
