Tends to do best work on the AW (5/6 career wins) and has been very tame in recent runs at Gowran Park and Galway. Drops in trip, no win over 5f since 2013.

Not disgraced over 6f at the Curragh this month, beaten just over 2L, has won over this trip in the past but still left needing a bit more from somewhere on recent form.

Has three wins from five runs this year, including over this trip at Navan last month, shot up more than 20lb in the ratings however and that might halt her for now.

Maiden winner in Britain last month and solid start in handicaps on stable bow over this C&D last week, up 1lb but a likely type again.

Solid effort over 6f here last time on handicap bow (beaten 1L in 4th of 30) and should give this a go if handling drop in trip.

Tends to do better on the AW (0/20 on turf) and has been out of form in both sphere recently. Hard to see a winning run emerging in this field.

Both wins this year have come over 7f and might find this trip a bit sharp, also handicapped to the hilt at the moment after Limerick win in June.

Best effort came in Dundalk maiden over 5f when second of five at 100/1, flopped on handicap bow at Tipperary (5f, good to form) in May and best watched for now.

Very poor towards the end of last year and was beaten sizeable margins over 1m here and 1m2f at Navan this term already. Off 60 days and much to work on at the moment.

Experienced campaigner with five career wins (from 88) but now gone 21 without striking and five efforts this year haven't suggested that run is about to end.

Has been supported numerous times this season for similar contest but unable to land a blow, sole win came in a 2014 maiden and looks one to avoid for time being.

Winner over 6f at Cork in May from basement rating, has tended to struggle over this trip however and makes little appeal at the moment.

Best effort for this yard came over this trip at Cork in May (good) when beaten 2L off a mark of 60. Very little shown in six runs since and hard to fancy now.

Mare is a 20-race maiden now, would require some luck to land a prize it seems but could run into the minor money on a good day.

Suffered a heavy defeat at Navan last month (5f, good to firm) on first start of the year. Appears in need of help from the assessor and not suited on today's terms.

Well beaten in three maiden races over 7f and 1m and a similar story over 1m in first-time blinkers (left off here) on handicap debut at Leopardstown last time out. Drops significantly in trip here.

Won a 5f handicap on soft at Cork in 2015 off 46, has gone 20 races without adding to it since and shown precious few positive signs in doing so. Unfavoured on these terms.

Well beaten in all five starts to date most recently in a first-time tongue tie at Navan (good to firm) over 5f last month. Others have a more obvious chance in this line-up.

Forecasts

Flawlessly (5/1), Sweetest Taboo (6/1), Polly Douglas (6/1), Its All For Luck (6/1), Molans Mare (9/1), Complicit (12/1), My Good Brother (14/1), Acroleina (14/1), Battleroftheboyne (16/1), Burren View Lady (16/1), Blue Bounty (20/1), Elegant Emmeline (25/1), Roryslittlesister (25/1), Fast Kar (25/1), Miss Opportunity (25/1), Jamington (28/1), Strategic Force (33/1), Skiddadle (33/1), Eye Glass (33/1), Sarah Ash Calum (40/1)

Verdict

Flawlessly won a maiden at Redcar on final start in Britain and made a solid start for new yard when ½L runner-up in a C&D apprentice contest last week. She's been raised the minimum for that and rates a clear player in this field. There was also a lot to like about the run of ITS ALL FOR LUCK over a furlong longer at this track on her handicap bow 12 days ago. It's interesting that Robbie McNamara drops her in trip but, on just a fifth start, she has scope to do better again and could prove up to winning this. Quite a few of these have questions to answer, the likes of Sweetest Taboo has let supporters down numerous times, while Burren View Lady and Molans Mare could get involved if bring their best stuff forward.
  1. Its All For Luck
  2. Flawlessly
  3. Burren View Lady
