Verdict
Several of these have had plenty of chances including San Aer, who ran poorly in a Curragh handicap last time. Cool Leader has been running quite well in handicaps and was in the lead at this trip when tackling an extra furlong at Clonmel. My Minervina hasn't improved since runner-up on testing ground at Bellewstown so the vote goes to the twice-raced SO FASCINATING (NAP). A half-sister to three winners, she was going on at the finish of a Roscommon maiden over slightly shorter in August, her first starts since November.
