Made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap in April (good); ran to a similar level at Cork later in the month when beaten 3l into fourth; followed that with a disappointing effort at this venue, with soft ground a possible excuse; solid third behind Pete's Dream at Fairyhouse on latest; 7f might be too sharp.

2-17 on AW, 0-15 on turf; did not appear again last year after finishing third of 19 in a 1m apprentice handicap at Leopardstown in May; after a year off, plenty to like about his stable debut at Listowel ten days ago, ran on to take third ahead of today's rival Linger For Longer.

Still a maiden after 20 starts; solid display when fourth of 17 at Fairyhouse two months ago on her final start for a small County Tipperary yard; has joined a leading stable; possible that the change of scene will bear dividends.

Verdict

After reacting to the visor well when scoring at Leopardstown eight days ago, LAUNCH TIME gets the vote as the step back to a mile could bring about more improvement. The vast majority of Lorr’s Girl’s worthwhile form has come at this venue so she can’t be dismissed, while Dawn Flame and Leannespour also make the shortlist. Wednesday’s ready Gowran winner Reponse Finale will be prominent in the market if getting a run. [Conor Fennelly]
