Maiden has run consistently well in defeat over 7f at this venue lately; the drop in trip probably isn't a big issue as she is also dropping in class today; can go close with cheekpieces added.

3yo filly has been kept busy this season; won at Dundalk in April and at the Curragh in June off 71; hasn't troubled the judge of late, favourite at latter venue on latest when showing good speed for long way; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces (not latest) and drops in grade so respected.
