Verdict

Not a lot of these make much appeal, though there could be some ‘sleepers’ amongst the many making their handicap debuts. C’EST RIEN has been running consistently in defeat, including over C&D last time and should give her running, so is a tentative selection. Breagagh and Derby De Thaix ran well last time, so are at least in some sort of form. [Tyrone Molloy]
