The Feathered Nest is top-rated here on the back of three victories for Richard Fahey, though appears unlikely to run up to her mark after two moderate efforts for new connections. TIMEMAKESITFINE looked a certain future winner after being narrowly beaten in a maiden here in June but she's been a disappointing favourite the last twice. This looks a drop in class and she can gain her first success. Lappet was sent to Musselburgh to land a handicap in July and has since performed with credit in low-grade handicaps while Never Rains, who won one of these in July, hasn't been beaten far in handicap company subsequently. Grove Hill won a Sligo claimer last month before a reasonable effort in a similar race to this here a week later while Lottieloveheart, from an in-form yard, looks best of the remainder.
