4/1
Yet to win in eight starts over fences and was well held at Tramore before a 40L defeat at Killarney last month. Plenty to prove at present.

9/4
Ran on well to finish third of 15 at the recent Listowel harvest festival which should set the five-race chase maiden up for a big run here.

25/1
Has struggled in a number of laboured displays since returning to the track in April and may find this a tough assignment.

7/2
Has produced a couple of consistent performances recently at Roscommon and in a Tramore handicap chase over 2m6f beaten in to third. Latest fall at Wexford can be discounted.

6/1
Running a big race in second when falling four out in the Wexford race that saw Naughty Molly come to grief. Enters calculations here.

16/1
Without a win in three chase starts to date. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Won a Wexford handicap chase earlier this month off a 5lb lower mark, a race that witnessed a number of today's rivals come to grief. Remains open to improvement.

Forecasts

Open To The World (9/4), Naughty Molly (7/2), Gunfire Reef (4/1), Shanklys Dawn (5/1), Polish Partisan (6/1), Forrardon Xmoor (13/2), Touchy (16/1), Night Sir (20/1), Drumlosh Sallie (25/1)

Verdict

Wexford winner, SHANKLY'S DAWN had a few of these behind earlier this month and the mare can add to her two chase successes here to land the spoils in the closing race of the meeting seeing off the attentions of Open To The World, Wexford faller, Naughty Molly and Gordon Elliott's interesting nine-year-old, Farrardon Xmoor.
  1. Shanklys Dawn
  2. Open To The World
  3. Naughty Molly
