Verdict

LAR'S LASS has proved a different proposition since switched to hunters so is potentially well treated back in a handicap. Evies Vladimir left previous form well behind when making a winning handicap bow back from 17 months off at Clonmel 7 weeks ago and is the obvious threat, Carrig Carrol best of the others.
