Verdict
Brave Display was engaged in a handicap here last night. James McCauley has three entries and Shane Foley was on board when Mischief Star won a similar race at Ballinrobe last month so is greatly respected. Stable companion Sister Lola is held on an earlier Tipperary run though has been in reasonable form in handicaps and may be capable of reversing the form. The third member of the team, SCARLET DANCER, has her first start for the yard since transferring from Richard Fahey and scored at Chester in September. She's handed the vote as though Pinar Del Rio looked one to follow when landing a Curragh maiden in May last year, he hasn't made the expected progress. Plankton is largely unexposed and one to note in the market.
