Verdict
VIVIENDA has been steadily progressive in handicaps this term, winning twice prior to a good third in first-time blinkers (discarded here) at Fairyhouse 25 days ago. She's of interest again and earns the vote ahead of stablemate Sumptuary Law. Curragh maiden winner Just For One Day is another to consider with further progress anticipated now handicapping.

VerdictNo Nay Never filly who continued theme of race-by-race progress when winning 13-runner maiden (9/2) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago, driven out. Highly likely there's better to come now handicapping.

VerdictC&D winner. 12/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, weakening final 1f. Interesting connections now opt for first-time blinkers and she may well be sharper for her latest effort under her belt (first start for 4 months).

VerdictEleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Cork (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Handicapper continues to ease his grip if she can build on that making polytrack debut.

VerdictFairly useful, dual 6f winner for Ed Walker. Blew the start and came home last of 8 in listed race at Pontefract (6f) when last seen in August. Switch to handicaps rates a plus now starting out for new yard and the betting can guide.- Unnamed Favourite
