Verdict

Having turned a C&D handicap into a one-sided affair last month, MOONSHINE GIRL hadn't been fully asked for her effort when slipping up at Listowel 11 days ago. Returned to this venue, she can get back on the up. Fire Coral won that aforementioned race and she will doubtless give it another good go, while Western Shores is a potential improver for her leading yard.

6	Found improvement in first-time blinkers when readily winning 19-runner C&D handicap hurdle last month. Runner-up that day successful since and wasn't out of it when slipping up at Listowel 11 days ago. This mark is within range. 1st Pick 6 Moonshine Girl (Ire) Jockey: Miss J.

3	Likeable mare who deservedly got off the mark for the season at Listowel 11 days ago, better than ever in the process. 8 lb rise does make life hard but she won back-to-back races last season. 2nd Pick 3 Fire Coral Jockey: Phillip Enright Trainer: S.

5	Signs of ability in her qualifying runs, again shaping like a stayer when fifth at Kilbeggan a month ago. Back up in trip for handicap debut and she likely has a bigger effort in her. 3rd Pick 5 Western Shores (Ire) Jockey: Danny Gilligan Trainer: Gordon Elliott, Ireland J: Danny Gilligan T: Gordon Elliott, Ireland	95	-	-	-	15%
