Verdict

A competitive 3-y-o event can go the way of handicap debutant KALIR who should be more clued up second time out this season. Harmani is another switching to handicapping and looks to be on a workable opening mark, while recent Curragh winner Arctic Assassin is another to consider.

9	Has shown plenty in 3 maidens, including when promising second to Charles Darwin on debut. Off 11 months, third of 13 at Gowran (7f, soft, 3/1) 25 days ago. Should strip fitter for that and is one to be interested in on handicap bow. 2nd Pick 9 Harmani (Ire) Jockey: Nicola Burns Trainer: G. M. Lyons, Ireland J: Nicola Burns T: G. M.

4	12/1 and gelded/in first-time cheekpieces, proved a different proposition when winning 13-runner event on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m, heavy) 14 days ago. Had a couple of these behind then and should remain competitive even after a 9 Ib rise. 3rd Pick 4 Arctic Assassin (Ire) Jockey: J. Pietropaolo Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland J: J.
