Last-time-out maiden hurdle winners BOSSING IT and Shudawudacuddagh both bring potential to the table now handicapping and they could be the pair to concentrate on, for all that cases can also be made for some of the others, too, not least the 11-y-o Sargent Lightfoot. Marginal preference is for Bossing It, who did the job well at Kilbeggan and she has been handed a fair-looking mark for this handicap debut.
