FormscanBy Gary Carson - IRISH LASS looks nicely treated here running off a mark of 111. She looks a work in progress over timber and there should be more to come from the Getaway half-sister to Airlie Beach. She was impressive when taking her bumper at Tramore last year but got turned over first time out over hurdles at Downpatrick this June. She atoned for that when scoring at Limerick in July but just about got the job done then after drifting left approaching two out and making a slight mistake at the last. This step up in trip should help now and there should be more to come. Obviously Brex Drago has to be a big danger coming here in search of a hat-trick. He looks to have got his act together over hurdles recently and compared to his lofty Flat mark is still on a nice mark over timber. Paris Texas gained a deserved victory over hurdles when scoring at Downpatrick last time but may not have the same scope for improvement as the two above.
