After landing a Ballinrobe Handicap in great style, BABY WHIZZ couldn't handle a 13lb rise and longer trip here though he still didn't run badly. Fearnwood Girl is 8lb higher than when landing a Sligo handicap last month but has run well since but Like The Da has struggled since his victory at Down Royal in May. One For Joules was found to be coughing after a poor run on the Flat at Roscommon a couple of weeks ago and may be best watched for now but Bessie Lou easily won a Bellewstown maiden last time and is progressing enough to be on the short-list.
