In depth

Verdict

Duquesa Beach has to carry 8lb extra for Tuesday's Gowran success but had plenty in hand and should be thereabouts. Lady Georgie has been going reasonably well before facing soft ground at Sligo on Tuesday where she hung on after leading inside the final furlong. She has a 6lb penalty to carry which shouldn't prove too much of a problem but the vote goes to RIGHT TURN. Ger Lyons' charge didn't show much in maidens but caught the eye with a late run in a Leopardstown handicap earlier this month and can get off the mark. Prime Chief has a long absence to overcome but appeared to find 1m4f too far at Dundalk having scored over this trip at Cork.
