Verdict

A chance can be given for previous C&D winner RIONACH, despite the step up in class she makes. She missed the kick at Galway over a longer trip last time out but recovered well to finish third. If she makes a clean getaway here, there's reason to suggest she can progress and win this prize. I Can Fly got back on the right track at Ballybrit following Classic disappointment earlier this summer and is respected along with Petticoat, who must be forgiven a last-time-out flop here given a lost shoe in the stalls. Harvestfortheworld drops in class too and merits consideration in an open heat.
