Race preview
CARRY ON HEIDI continues to fly a little under the handicapper's radar, as she has bumped into high-class rivals at black type level. Victorious in Ballynoe's locally-prestigious Gain Mares Final of 2025, the selection was unsuited by dropping to 2m in her sole previous defeat at handicap level last November, and was beaten by subsequent Grade 1 winner Zanoosh and smart How's Hannah at Limerick last month. She drops in grade and her rider claims 5lb. Katie Daniels was left clear at the last when scoring at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival and is 7lb higher, while Dameauscottlestown disappointed at Cork last month.
