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.
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
