Dual Flat winner SLAMADOOR stepped up on her previous efforts in this sphere when fifth in a big-field Listowel novice last month and, with the promise of better still now making her way down the handicap route in this sphere, she could be the answer. Verbal Sparring opened his account at Sligo recently and is feared most, with The Truant also high on the shortlist and Aussie Warrior is another with claims.
