Verdict

MISS CRINSHAWN looks interesting returned to a basement-grade handicap and is taken to get off the mark stepping back up in trip. Arcland made a good start for this yard last year and is entitled to be thereabouts, while Stepdance is another to consider from a falling mark.

2	Still to get her head in front but in frame first 5 starts this season and went close in extended 1¼m Cork handicap in May. Bit below that form on last 2 outings, but by no means disgraced and this represents a drop in class.
