Age: 4|  Weight: 9-10| J: Ronan Whelan| T: Peter Fahey| OR:  84
8/1
Has really got the hang of things for this yard of late, defied a 6lb penalty for Tipperary win when scoring over 1m2f at the Curragh last time out and had a fair amount in hand. No surprise to see her run well with just another 6lb on her back.

11/2
Won four times last year and has been going well in defeat this time around. Good fourth at the Curragh last time and each-way claims once again in what looks a weaker race.

25/1
Has endured an unsuccessful spell over hurdles this year and out of form on the Flat when last seen. Won't mind these conditions though and can't be ruled out if ready to go after an absence.

in the form of her life this summer and stayed on well to win at Killarney last time. Step back up in trip could see her improve further and useful claimer takes off 7lb.

3/1
Made a winning reappearance after a long lay-off here when last seen and given time to recover from. She is raised 11lb as a result and she may be able to build on that, especially in these conditions.

She's So Flawless20
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-12| J: Chris Hayes| T: W P Mullins| OR:  81
9/4
Couldn't land the odds on debut but made up for that with an impressive win at Killarney last time. Drop back in trip perhaps not ideal but entirely unexposed.

Two For Tea17
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR:  80
4/1
Impressive on each of her three starts to date and got off the mark at Gowran last time. Certainly more to come, particularly over this sort of trip and leading claims for a trainer and jockey combination that with a respectable strike-rate of 13.55%.

Forecasts

She's So Flawless (9/4), Jeremy's Girl (3/1), Two For Tea (4/1), Sister Blandina (11/2), Byron Beauty (8/1), Hamley (8/1), Jeremys Joy (25/1)

Verdict

A competitive affair but HAMLEY may be worth chancing in her bid for a hat-trick. She scored with a little more than the winning margin suggests at the Curragh last time and may be capable of defying a 6lb rise. Two For Tea and She's So Flawless are both completely unexposed and rate as the main dangers.
  1. Hamley
  2. Two For Tea
  3. She's So Flawless
