VERDICT: Agartha has to give away a 3lb penalty following her victory at Tipperary in August when benefiting from a drop in class after her spin in the Belmont Oaks. She ran with credit when second to Homeless Songs on her return last season, but she may face a tough challenge in fending off Insinuendo. Given some stiff tasks last season, Willie McCreery's mare acquitted herself with plenty of credit against some very smart individuals and this appeals as an excellent opportunity for her to get back to winning ways. Kerkiyra won a valuable handicap here on Irish Champions Weekend and remains open to further improvement.
