Verdict

With significant rain forecast, it could be worth giving JUSTENZIA another chance off a handy mark. Nancee Spain looks to have plenty in her favour and should go well. Ohmali and Preparations are other notable dangers in a wide-open handicap, while reserve runner Beauvallon would be very interesting if lining up.

5	Runner-up in pair of handicaps to start this season, latterly chasing home a fairly useful type off 4 lb higher. Never involved from a wide draw at Galway last time. Usual cheekpieces left off, however, could be worth another chance in this sort of grade with conditions likely to suit. 1st Pick 5 Justenzia (Ire) Jockey: J. M.

14	Relatively lightly-raced filly. Won by a wide margin at Roscommon (soft) in October. Shaped as if still in good form in first-time blinkers on return at Galway last month. She's been given a chance by the handicapper and makes appeal given the likely testing conditions. 2nd Pick 14 Nancee Spain (Ire) Jockey: S. Mccullagh Trainer: Daniel Mcloughlin, Ireland J: S.

15	Opened his account at Gowran (1m, soft) in September. Ran up to his best when runner-up at Leopardstown (8f) this season and was better than the result when only beaten 4 lengths on return to that track (9f) last time. Potentially very interesting on belated first crack at 1½m. 3rd Pick 15 Ohmali (Ire) Jockey: Ben Martin Coen Trainer: Miss Natalia Lupini, Ireland J: Ben Martin Coen T: Miss Natalia Lupini, Ireland	94	-	-	-	7%
