In depth

Verdict

Shane Foley and Colin Keane are battling for the jockeys title and could fight out the finish here with Ally Cay and THEFAITHFULINDIAN. The pair finished 1-2 on soft ground at Roscommon in August with the latter just prevailing and though there should be little between them again she just gets the nod from 1lb higher. Emerald Green attempted to make most over 1m2f at Fairyhouse but had no answer when Easca Peasca went past but Awaasef might have finished closer at Cork after completely missing the break. Grace To Grace never really got into contention when well supported at Galway after a much better effort at Roscommon.
