Verdict

Plenty of these have major questions over them but not so HOLY MOTIVATION, the mare having improved in two starts since upped to staying trips. She's crept up 3lb for her latest near miss at Downpatrick but, back over 3m, she could have her turn now. July C&D winner Lady Of The Sea could be the big threat. She hasn't run well since but appears likely to be suited with this return to a longer trip. Few of the remainder appeal, though Glamorous Nellie and Randall's Aoibhinn may have place claims on their best form.
  1. Holy Motivation
  2. Lady Of The Sea
  3. Randall's Aoibhinn
