Verdict

A wide-open handicap in which it could pay to side with KHARMA, who showed improved form when finishing a close third on handicap debut at Fairyhouse in June, and with her last run easily excused she's taken to open her account. Rosie Rock, Betrayed and Secret Road are just a handful of potential dangers.

  1. KHARMA (IRE)
  2. ROSIE ROCK (IRE)
  3. BETRAYED
