Verdict

A super contest to bring down the curtain on the Flat season in Ireland and Dermot Weld appears to have saved something a bit special for the finale. TOCCO D'AMORE was very impressive when smashing her rivals to win a maiden here in April by 6L, with plenty up her sleeve. She cost connections a cool €2m and looks capable of going places. The form of her maiden stands up to scrutiny and, given there could be plenty more to come, she is hard to oppose. It has been a dream season for Colin Keane and Ger Lyons could help the new champion jockey sign off in style. Mustajeer looked good scoring on his debut for the yard at this track recently and, over an extra two-furlongs, is the value alternative to the likely favourite. Willie Mullins saddles Laws Of Spin and Lagostovegas, with preference for the first-named over this trip, while Ted Veale and the reliable Dew Line are sure to give maximum effort and hold place claims.
  1. Tocco D'amore
  2. Mustajeer
  3. Laws Of Spin
