oddschecker Verdict

Locally-based owner/trainer Paul McEnery won this nursery five years ago and MAGNA FORTUNA is of interest, despite unpromising form figures. A half-sister to a Group 3 juvenile winner, she was raised 5lb for her latest maiden run, even though finishing with only one rival behind her, and this low-grade handicap may well have been on her agenda for some time. Stormy Dawn bumped into a pair of well-treated Johnny Murtagh-trained rivals when third over 6f at Fairyhouse, while Murtagh is represented by Littlepacer, who came home well when placed on her first handicap start at Sligo. Dropping Dimes was beaten a long way when third on her handicap debut at Bellewstown, but wasn't unsupported on that occasion.

Prediction: 1st Magna Fortuna, 2nd Stormy Dawn, 3rd Littlepacer
