Verdict
Sin E Shekells had been performing with credit in 5f maidens before making an encouraging handicap debut over this trip at Leopardstown so should get into contention. Take My Hand was a couple of lengths behind in that latter event but didn't get the run of the race and has since finished strongly over 7f at Gowran. YA YA BABY, headed close home on testing ground at Gowran, couldn't quite get to Scholastic at Limerick and though up 3lb looks the one to beat. Cobb And Co wasn't headed until the final furlong over 1m2f at Fairyhouse so should set a strong pace.
