LADY KAI looks well-treated on her return to a slightly shorter trip after a solid comeback run at Gowran and gets the vote. Fianna has been consistent without winning and the first-time visor and extended distance could suit. Numidia has struggled recently but might appreciate this step up in trip.

    Won a 12f AW handicap at Dundalk in September and an 11f turf handicap at Killarney last July. Fourth of 11 in 13.8f handicap at Gowran Park (11/2) 58 days ago, ran well after 7-month absence. This sort of mark unlikely to prove beyond her.

    Verdict
    Third of 7 in handicap at Tramore (5/1) 10 days ago, wearing first-time cheekpieces but merely plugged on after being driven from 3f out. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces and this 13f trip could suit.
