Verdict
Biddy The Boss has to carry a penalty for last year's bumper victory and has been caught on the line in her last two runs over 2m5f. Whether she'll last out this trip is anyone's guess though that applies to most of these including the improving ISLE OF DESTINY, who has looked worth a try at the trip on recent starts in maidens. She's also engaged at Limerick tomorrow but Boragh Beat, the only four-year-old in the line-up, is taking a massive step-up from 2m. Play At Midnight will be better for last month's run at Tramore, her first since March, and she's a likely stayer.
