Verdict

Lady Savanah has been running well all summer and gained her second victory with a convincing success over the track and trip last month. Up With The Play makes his handicap debut after just four runs and has to be considered with his stable in such good form. OVERHEER has been steadily improving and last month's victory over Blankiedoodie at Tipperary was given a boost when the runner-up went one better at Thurles on Thursday so Joe Murphy's charge can go in again. Excuzio Joe ran her best race so far at Fairyhouse and Dylan Browne McMonagle has been snapped up to ride.
