Verdict

PRINCESS CHLOE improved when runner-up on her turf debut at Limerick a fortnight ago and is taken to go one better in a weak handicap. Pocket Jacks shaped well over this C&D last month and rates the main danger, with Liamo and Dawn Flame also respected if able to show their best.

3	Showed improved form when 1¼ lengths second of 14 to Glen Breeze in handicap at Limerick a fortnight ago. Up 3 lb for that performance but will be firmly in the mix if able to replicate it in what looks a weak race, particularly with a good-value 7 lb claimer booked. 1st Pick 3 Princess Chloe (Ire) Jockey: T.

12	Hasn't fired on either start this season but has been given a chance by the handicapper as a result and it would be no surprise were he to fare better with those 2 outings under his belt.

Yielding

A rain-soaked turf condition often producing a slick or heavy course and slower finish times.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Underlay

A horse that is going off at lower odds than it deserves based on performance.
