Verdict
LILY'S STAR had shown virtually nothing until landing an all-aged handicap at Bellewstown on Wednesday where she had the consistent Inishtearaght in second. It's not surprising she turns out with a penalty and she can take this event confined to her own age. Cinnin Oir has been in good form all summer and has suffered in the weights as a consequence though she ran well enough from this mark at Tipperary on Thursday to be considered. Confidence found six furlongs much too short at Cork last Sunday and makes his handicap debut from a nice mark while Golden Nugget is only 3lb higher then when beating One For Joules at Ballinrobe. The consistent Snap Alam is another to consider in an open event as she is by no means badly treated despite scoring twice this season.
