Has good form around here but just struggled off this mark last time and may do well to uphold previous form with Strategic Force.

Rock solid credentials over C&D and won in great style a fortnight ago, the handicapper has had his say for that but set to be involved again.

Recent track form is underwhelming, including a poor run seven days ago that makes him very tough to fancy against some in-form rivals.

Well held behind some of these last time but does get another 3lb back from the handicapper and has winning form in Britain at this trip.

Fairly consistent sort overall but ran a disappointing race over C&D earlier this month, needs to regain some sparkle.

Ex-British-trained filly has her first run in Ireland and for this yard, boasts a 50-per-cent strike rate on AW and looks potentially well-treated.

Improved effort to hit the frame over 6f here last time out, interesting now dropped to 5f for the first time.

Remains a maiden after 14 starts, just two on AW before and both were over a mile. First start for this trainer and drops to 5f, others make more appeal on form.

Filly ran a solid race only start over 5f here in maiden but doesn't appeal as being well-handicapped for this race.

By no means a bad run here seven days ago over 6f, drops in trip now but still needs some assistance from the handicapper.

C&D winner had been running fairly well over further but disappointing when dropped back to this trip a fortnight ago and has to bounce back to form now.

20/1
No match for Strategic Force a fortnight ago and races from out of the handicap now, consistent performer but conditions not in her favour this time.

Forecasts

Strategic Force (2/1), Danz Gift (6/1), Seaforth (6/1), Go Kart (13/2), Red All Star (15/2), Ken's Sam's (10/1), Eleuthera (12/1), Times In Anatefka (20/1), Master Bond (20/1), Dnaneer (25/1), The Burnham Mare (33/1), Lisadell Abi (50/1)

Verdict

Recent winner Strategic Force should give this another strong effort despite rising in the weights and might get the better of old foe Go Kart in doing so. Both are in fine fettle right now and command the utmost respect. However THE BURNHAM MARE will be one to contend with on her first visit to this track and she boasts a fine AW record in Britain. Off a fair mark, she could take the opener. Ken's Sam's is also one to have a look at in the market as he drops to 5f on good terms with himself. 1. The Burnham Mare 2. Strategic Force 3. Go Kart
