FormscanBy Tom Weekes - KARLSBERG, probably well handicapped, can win against older rivals. A half-sister to two winners, KARLSBERG showed big improvement when a strong-finishing third on handicap debut at the Curragh recently and while raised 5lbs for the run, carried 2lbs over-weight on the day and should readily better her 65 rating. Gatwick Kitten is winless in 10 starts but is capable of winning judged on his latest run, when getting upset in the stalls before finishing well, with Colin Keane again booked today. War Hero is 2lbs ahead of the handicapper having won on Saturday but has a big enough weight. Musalsal makes the most of this 45-65 opportunity and having been placed at Limerick, won at Leopardstown on Thursday but is now 2lbs badly-off, possessing a revised 67 official rating. Maiden Glow Worm has placed on 16 of 30 starts and will no doubt run her usual race. It's All A Joke has been running well from similar ratings while lightly-raced Theriverrunsdeeps improved on handicap debut at Limerick. Drummond Warrior's rating has slipped from 87 to 58 and runs in first-time blinkers having run well enough at Cork.
