FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A fiercely competitive affair, with SO MAJESTIC the suggestion. The Kate McGivern-trained three-year-old is one of four chasing a hat-trick, with her recent wins coming at Down Royal and Naas respectively. She comfortably saw off 22 rivals at the Co Kildare venue and while rated much higher now, she might still be ahead of the handicapper on a mark of 77. Successful over the course and distance last month, Running Cool is given second preference. He beat Curraheen Princess into third on that occasion and should be able to confirm the form now. Like the aforementioned trio, Dun Na Sead has also won her last two and is sure to have plenty of supporters, with Oisin McSweeney again taking a valuable 5lb off. A strong case can be made for many others, with Rockingham winner Harry's Hill, the Ken Condon trained-Gabriella's Spirit (first time cheekpieces) and the likeable Little Queenie, a few for the shortlist.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards that at entry have run three or more times under any Rules of Racing, at least one of those runs having been on or after 1st June, 2022 (100 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
