      Verdict

      Loveday has only managed one run as a three-year-old and that was at the start of June. Mehman is penalised for winning at Dundalk on Friday so this can go to HARMONY ROSE, who never seems to run a bad race and is finally being shown some leniency by the handicapper. Shoebox King has gone close in maidens the last twice with Neo Soul making most appeal of the remainder.
