FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SHANGHAI DRAGON is progressive and can defy her latest 6lb ratings' rise. She drops back in distance having won over a mile at Leopardstown but is suited to fast ground and, being a three year old, can improve some more. Perfect Thunder, also three, was outclassed in a Group 3 when in July but reverts to handicaps. She has a favourable rating and while her lack of a recent run isn't a concern given she was withdrawn from a race (due to fast ground) on August 11, could be inconvenienced by drying ground. Affable is ground-versatile and while not ahead of the handicapper, continues to run well and likes this distance. Bells On Her Toes has been running well but would prefer easy ground while Claonadh's rating has fallen but is another who would prefer an ease. Corporal Violette was post race normal having disappointed at Naas but has claims on previous form.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards fillies only that are EBF eligible (90 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
