VERDICT: Expelliarmus is unproven on testing ground but is unexposed. She showed promise at Navan in June and while well beaten when ridden from off the pace over a mile at the Curragh subsequently, received minor bumps and was eased when all hope was lost. Connections claim 7lb and her half-brother Common Practise improved dramatically at this distance and, notably, liked soft ground. Teorie has consistent maiden form and while the form of his soft-ground Leopardstown win is nothing special, is nonetheless interesting on handicap debut. Immutable revels in testing ground and is in-form but has plenty weight while Voice Of Reason narrowly won a recent maiden but encounters testing ground for the first time. Youcrackmeup was 9lb out of the handicap when running well at Limerick but has been hit by the handicapper and is without her 5lb claimer, dropping in distance and reverting to testing ground. In-form Booyea would prefer good ground while Ikigai Star was well held on handicap debut. Pearl Of Australia was reported to have hung right at Down Royal but has previously beaten Astar (which debuts in handicaps) at Roscommon.
