In depth

Verdict

A very low-grade handicap and difficult to sum up but NICE VINTAGE has as good a chance as any. She landed a Clonmel handicap earlier this month before running well from an 8lb higher mark at Roscommon where she failed to obtain a clear run at a crucial stage. Masterchippy has improved with each run and doesn't look badly treated while Best Kept Secret definitely improved at Dundalk in his two latest starts and is on the shortlist. There should be more to come from Leafy Approach and Beechmount Whisper surpassed his earlier form with a good run at Dundalk.
