Verdict

My Twinkle hasn't had much experience and wasn't beaten far over this trip at Fairyhouse so she can do better. Azzuri scored over a shorter trip on soft ground here in May and is unlikely to have those conditions but Social Climber will love the going. A winner on fast ground at Gowran last month, he couldn't cope with a 7lb rise at Fairyhouse on Wednesday but probably came up against a progressive type and will make a bold bid to get back on the winning trail. BUZZ OFF BARROSO (NAP) reappeared with an eye-catching effort on her handicap debut over this trip at Fairyhouse then found 1m1f much too short at Ballinrobe where she stayed on strongly. She's on a nice mark and can gain her first success.
