FormscanBy Tom Weekes - INDEPENDENT EXPERT is ground-versatile and has consistent form over similar distances. She has top weight and is 1lb higher than when third at Tipperary but her 7lb claiming jockey is back on board having won on her at the Curragh in May. Aristovic won on easy ground at Tipperary but is similarly ground-versatile and while raised 5lb for her win, should hold fifth-placed Cherub Rock, albeit who may be better suited by today's sounder surface. Three Laws, third in a barrier trial, was handicapped on two maiden runs but was well held at Leopardstown last month (Starsong was sixth). Similarly owned handicap debutante Scarlet Angel was well beaten at Gowran but had previously shown form at Cork. Notwithstanding ran ok on handicap debut at Leopardstown and can get involved, dropping to a smaller field in a slightly less competitive race.
An extended handicap for three years old only rated 47-75Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
