FormscanBy Tom Weekes - A chance is taken with PENELOPE’S CHARM whose recent form reads badly, but debuts in handicaps wearing cheek-pieces and can better her current rating. Admittedly very in-and-out, the selection nonetheless attained a Listed bumper-placing just last March and finished out her race reasonably well when defeating plenty rivals at Clonmel last month. Today’s extra furlong can help, in a winnable handicap. Mount Shenshan has obvious claims having won at Clonmel last month although is 5lb higher and without her rider’s 7lb claim today. Ex-Willie Mullins-trained Marie’s March drops markedly in grade from her Fairyhouse maiden hurdle run and can compete on handicap debut.
