Verdict

A chance is taken on LA DAME BLANCHE, who hasn't been at her best of late but she's been given a chance by the handicapper and better is expected back up in trip here in a first-time hood. Believe In Science also needs to bounce back but will have a good chance if able to do so, now 3 lb below the mark of which he was a creditable third on his reappearance in June. Alfalfa and the hat-trick seeking Red Trail are others to consider.

  1. LA DAME BLANCHE (IRE)
  2. BELIEVE IN SCIENCE (IRE)
  3. ALFALFA (IRE)
