EXCUZIO JOE is a dual course winner over 7f but has won over this trip and loves heavy ground. She holds San Aer on their run here in July and should go well despite a big weight. Dazzling Spirit is in tremendous form having won three times in recent weeks though was well behind Clear Quartz when Mark Fahey's grey won at Killarney in May. The latter scored here in July but has struggled from his raised mark subsequently. Soilse looked very well treated for a 29-runner handicap at the Curragh last time with her rider claiming 10lb but, though running well, may have missed her chance to get off the mark. Stormy Jenn has gone up a whopping 12lb for her easy victory at Gowran while Fools Glory has 7lb more for winning at Gowran.
