Out of form in four starts for two yards this year, hard to fancy on strength of stable bow for current trainer when beaten 6½L over this trip at Down Royal recently.
Made winning yard for this yard at Cork last month (5f, good to firm) but races from an 11lb higher mark this evening for that 2L success making things much tougher.
Filly has been a model of consistency in four runs this season. Won on reappearance at Cork over this trip and two recent 5f runs at the Curragh have excellent. Strong claims again in this.
Recent starts over this minimum trip have perhaps come on ground softer than ideal, likely to encounter better surface this time and has claims on pick of form.
One maiden over the trip at Beverley in August last, has been doing well enough over longer trips on AW this year may find this tough going off current mark.
Tame effort on stable bow over this trip at Navan in June, beaten more than 10L and has been mostly struggling in recent outings.
Forecasts
Patuano (6/4), Oneoveryou (9/4), Aggression (5/1), Rivellino (8/1), Red Sabor (10/1), Dance Alone (20/1), Master Bond (33/1), Independence Day (50/1)
PATUANO has been a consistent barometer this season and can record a second win of the campaign here. She ran a fine race over the weekend in better company than and, assuming she's none the worse, looks assured to give her running and take some holding. Last time out winner Oneoveryou faces a stiff task from increase rating but should remain competitive while Aggression needs a bit more though did at least take a step in the right direction last time out.
