In depth

Verdict

Star Image has won twice here but has never raced beyond 1m4f. Gulliver's Travels completed a double at Cork and Dundalk but couldn't cope with a 9lb rise on his hat-trick bid. Lunar Power has run well over timber since scoring over this trip at Clonmel but was earlier five lengths behind La Hacienda at Killarney, The latter ran poorly in the lucrative Petingo Handicap at Leopardstown but would have a chance on her earlier form. Jessica Harrington's horses are in top form and AUTUMN EVENING, a three-times winner over hurdles, found 1m4f too short at Listowel but looks on a handy mark as he tries to lose his maiden tag on the Flat. Harry's Legacy stays the trip and is in fine form while Lord Erskine gained the eighth victory of his career at Listowel though has been hit with a 9lb rise. Leopardstown maiden winner Como Park was making his handicap debut when scoring over 1m5f at Down Royal and the longer trip shouldn't pose a problem.
