Verdict
PIPER BOMB has improved dramatically in her last two starts and her latest run over this trip on soft ground at Roscommon points to her obvious chance in a race where not too many have shone. Painting Pictures made a successful debut on soft ground at the latter track and hasn't run as badly as form figures imply in two tough handicaps since but Eos is on a high mark for what she has achieved while Vicky Cristina didn't appear suited by soft ground last time after showing potential on quicker ground. Most of the remainder have had three compulsory runs for a handicap mark so the market should be noted.
