Going - Good, Good to Yielding in places. Overcast

Formscan By Michael Graham - Joseph O'Brien's SHODA should have a future in handicaps. She put in a promising debut effort when third in a fillies' maiden at Killarney and built upon that when landing a qualified riders' maiden at the Galway Festival. The way she forged on well to score by almost four lengths bodes well for her first step into handicap company. Her stablemate, Perfect Portrait, could enjoy this drop in class. She didn't show in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse last month, but has been given a break since then. Aird is nicely weighted with Robyn Donaghue-Leahy taking 7lb off her back, while O'Brien's Belhaven and recent Dundalk winner Ameerat Jumaira are others with claims.
