A chance is taken on handicap newcomer LADY ROSE HACKETT for last year's winning trainer/jockey combination of Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore. His Nibbs is another who appeals as a likely improver in handicaps and also makes the shortlist along with the thriving Portarlington and the other de Bromhead runner Freddie Robdal.
