Verdict

This looks competitive but CONSTANUCI clearly benefited from the step back up in trip and ultimately won with a bit to spare when landing a Listowel handicap (20f) 11 days ago and she gets the narrow vote to defy a rise in the weights. Ballycashin, back from a break, remains with potential and she's feared, along with Phils Choice and Sligo-winner The Grey Dove.
