MAONTRI (NAP) takes a big drop in grade after her run in a Listed contest at Naas and has already won two handicaps this summer and finished an excellent fourth in a tough event at the Curragh. She doesn't look badly treated and can get back to winning ways. Empress Toorah won two handicaps at this time a year ago and was having just her second start back when a close fourth at Fairyhouse in June so she'll be spot-on. Octavia is incredibly consistent but once again got caught on the line at Down Royal last month. That was a fine effort but connections will be dismayed that she's been put up 8lb. Cheval Rouge has won over the trip but appears better over further and on much softer ground these days.
