FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CARENZA, by Cape Cross, is possibly the least exposed of these but has a 110 day absence to overcome. She hasn't run since September and has done almost all her racing on grass but was quite progressive in handicaps last year and now meets Our Manekineko on 6lbs better terms than when beating that rival at Leopardstown last July. Our Manekineko has progressed very well on this surface and was a good winner here recently. He now shoulders a 12lbs penalty for that latest win and while not without a chance, he enters unknown territory with this kind of rating. Victor's Beach is also on a career high mark but is in fine form following a narrow win here last week. He is a reliable type and should figure. It is difficult to predict how Deep Speed will run in his first handicap but he is a recent course and distance winner and is aided by his rider's 3lbs claim while Golden Shoe ran well over CD in November and another with claims.
