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.

  1. CURRAHEEN PRINCESS (IRE)
  2. HALLOWED TIME (IRE)
  3. SCREEN SIREN (IRE)
