10/1

Distance winner of a Ballinrobe maiden last month getting off the mark for connections at the seventh time of asking. New handicap mark looks a little harsh.

Forecasts

Erin (5/2), Espoir D'Soleil (6/1), City Ballerina (6/1), Hamley (7/1), Wild As The Wind (9/1), Final Treat (10/1), Ana Lichious (10/1), Aiseolas (12/1), Syndicate (14/1), Dancing Doll (16/1), Claregate Street (16/1), Our Anniversary (20/1), Remarkable Lady (25/1), Palmones (50/1)

With the Aiden O'Brien team appearing to be out of the slight lull of a couple of weeks ago, ERIN can put behind a disappointing run in the Group 3 Snow Fairy stakes at the Curragh on Saturday to get back to winning ways in this handicap. In a competitive looking contest the biggest dangers could come from City Ballerina, Espoir D'soleil and the consistent Hamley.
