Verdict
The vote goes to STEPDANCE, who shaped well on debut for this yard in the C&D handicap won by Gardone last month, which was her first run for the best part of a year. She found 12.5f too much of a test at Tipperary since and is appealing back down in trip with Shane Foley in the hot-seat. Picpoul is a regular here and, having been placed off similar marks on three of her last four starts at up to 1½m here, she is likely to be in the thick of things once more. Chopsticks is also shortlisted.
