FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Top rated LUCAILEM can win this typically unappealing maiden for unplaced horses. He has shown a fairly useful level of ability thus far and while beaten 22L and 31L on his latest two starts, did at least finish in front of plenty horses on both occasions and can put his experience to good use today. Boss Girl ran well enough at Limerick in November and can get involved as she has proven herself at this distance and on heavy ground. Cooline Bluebell has her chance and while beaten 36L at Cork latest, that was a hot maiden (the winner is high class, the runner-up won subsequently) and she did stay on to reasonable effect. Brandy Harbour is a point-to-point winner and while beatebn 50L on his latest start, did finish in front of many horses then and can get involved today.
