Verdict

Lots with chances but Gordon Elliott's mare TOWNHILL PENNY arrives on the back of a good Kilbeggan second and can go one better now off an unchanged mark with that form having been franked. Ballyglass Beauty is weighted to have a say too with Atlantian another who needs considering in a very open handicap.

  1. TOWNHILL PENNY (IRE)
  2. BALLYGLASS BEAUTY (IRE)
  3. ATLANTIAN (IRE)
