Consistent handicapper who scored at Killarney in May and has remained in good form in 2 starts since, finishing 5¼ lengths third of 16 to Lord Aus at Limerick 12 days ago. Not obviously favoured by the conditions of this claimer but should give her running, which cannot be said for all of these.

Camelot filly. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, closely related to very smart winner up to 13.3f Census and useful 1¾m-16.2f winner Carnwennan, Looked one for later on when eighth of 10 to Amelia Earhart in maiden at Leopardstown on debut. Market likely to prove best guide now starting out for new connections.

Ran well when ¾-length third of 11 to Femme Beauty in handicap at Killarney in May. Not so good last time but enjoys a significant pull at the weights with Femme Beauty now tackling a claimer and holds obvious claims if able to bounce back.

Fared best of those held up when fourth of 16 in a Gowran handicap earlier this month but faces a stiff task on these terms.

Lightly-raced maiden who hasn't kicked on in handicaps this year. Blinkers back on replacing cheekpieces worn on previous start. May find these easier though would be meeting at least a couple on better terms if this were a handicap.

Speed-laden pedigree and hinted at ability on debut but has failed to build tackling largely longer trips since, including in handicaps on last 2 starts.

Forecasts

Femme Beauty (13/8), Delusional (15/8), Zitkala Sa (9/4), Cameclose (10/3), Balance Of Trade (17/2), Rose Sienna (22/1), Kart Of Gold (50/1), Music And Song (66/1)

Verdict

DELUSIONAL didn't shape at all badly when third behind Femme Beauty at Gowran in May and is fancied to reverse the placings on more favourable terms, with Zitkala Sa looking best of the remainder.
