Verdict

CURRAHEEN PRINCESS has failed to land a blow the last twice, albeit in stronger handicaps than this and, now 4 lb below the mark off which she scored at Bellewstown in July, the 5-y-o is taken to notch a fourth success over this C&D. Hallowed Time put in good late work when hitting the crossbar at the Curragh last time (Collective Power a neck adrift in third) and he looks set for another leading role. Screen Siren is third choice ahead of Rathbranchurch.
