Verdict

LEE SIDE LADY is still in her first season under Rules but she's acquitted herself well and won over a shorter trip on soft going here in August. Neil Mulholland's mare was just touched off by Daliance at Fakenham 10 days ago and, racing off the same mark, should be hard to beat today. Claire Pet is probably the danger, despite having his first start for Richard Newland. He won at Clonmel a couple of years ago and was a fair third at Fairyhouse on his final start for previous connections. Rocknrobin and Itsaboutime may be best of the rest.
