oddschecker Verdict
First-time cheekpieces could see the consistent maiden TREASURE ROSE open her account on handicap debut. Runner-up on her last two starts, Johnny Murtagh's filly has done little wrong and might finally make the breakthrough now stepping out of maiden class for the first time. Locally trained Summer Island was a winner over this trip at the Curragh on his penultimate start, before finding one too good over a mile at that same venue last time. Dropping back in trip could well see Natalia Lupini's representative resume his progress. C&D winner Summer Snow has yet to recapture her best form but a return to this track could see her in a better light.
Prediction: 1st Treasure Rose, 2nd Summer Island, 3rd Summer Snow
