Verdict

SWITCH FROM DIESEL, a dual recent hurdle winner, is taken to make a successful transition to handicap company in this sphere. Stellar Quality rates the principal threat if reproducing her best, while La Dame Blanche is well treated on old form if building on recent encouragement.

4	Progressive filly who took another step forward when 4½ lengths third of 16 to Obscenity on handicap debut at Gowran last time. Didn't look the entirely straightforward under pressure that day, but must be considered off the same mark. 2nd Pick 4 Stellar Quality (Ire) Jockey: Shane Foley Trainer: Mrs J.

8	Stepped up on reappearance when 6¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Superficial at Roscommon last month. Well treated if able to build on that effort but fast approaching 2 years without a win. 3rd Pick 8 La Dame Blanche (Ire) Jockey: Wesley Joyce Trainer: Dermot Kilmartin, Ireland J: Wesley Joyce T: Dermot Kilmartin, Ireland	99	-	-	-	6%
