ACCALIA has only won once but has produced some fine runs in better company than this including when runner-up to the in-form Enter The Red at Navan last time so she can double her winning tally. Delegating has never won and her last run was in a maiden claimer at Dundalk and though Golden Pearl's only victory came over the course and distance that was on her debut and she's had a dozen starts since. Enjoy Life, three times a winner for Kevin Ryan, has performed with credit in her two runs for Willie McCreery and should be winning again soon. Fair Game hasn't won for over a year but ran very well in a tough handicap at Cork last time and should get into the mix while the three-year-old Kailee has improved with every run and makes her handicap debut after her maiden success at the Curragh though she's never raced on this sort of ground.
