10/3
Only just stays 2m so quick ground is a benefit. Winner of two handicaps lately and second best in this based on official ratings.

4/6
Much improved of late and had plenty in hand when landing a Killarney handicap last week. Stable have a 2-3 record in this event and she is the one to beat.

16/1
23-race Flat maiden who has not shown much in four starts over hurdles. She may be of more interest when her attentions are switched to handicapping.

50/1
Official rating is well below the principals and two runs back from an absence have failed to indicate she may be better than that mark indicates.

5/1
Ran an admirable race in defeat when going down by a short-heat to a Mullins hotpot over C&D. Doubtful that form is good enough, but she is progressing and has a tough attitude.

40/1
Refused last time and tailed off on penultimate outing. Impossible to recommend against some progressive rivals at the top of their game.

66/1
Returned two weeks ago from a two year absence and did not promise a great deal. Rated 93 at his peak and that would not be considered good enough.

Forecasts

Feeling The Love (4/6), Ejayteekay (10/3), Harrys Gift (5/1), Lady Argentum (16/1), Knockraha Pride (40/1), Cock A Doodle Doo (50/1), Vocal Heir (66/1)

Verdict

Harrys Gift clearly has a small race in her but this should concern the two previous winners Ejayteekay and FEELING THE LOVE. The former has been raised to an official mark of 109 having landed a second handicap two weeks ago. That mark may overestimate her and still sets her a stiff task in conceding wait to the selection who showed an impressive turn of foot to go clear at Killarney last week. Trainer Jessica Harrington has a good record in this and is expected take it to three wins in the last four years.
  1. Feeling The Love
  2. Ejayteekay
  3. Harrys Gift
