Verdict

OUR LAURA B had something in hand when making a successful start to her handicap career at Newcastle last month and may be able to defy a rise in the weights with the Ben Haslam team continuing in good form. Ol'river Shine and My Virtue both bring unexposed potential to their handicap debuts, while Div Ine Tara might have needed the outing after a break when fading into fourth on her handicap debut and could last longer this time.

  1. OUR LAURA B (IRE)
  2. OL'RIVER SHINE (IRE)
  3. MY VIRTUE
